mm, mempool: do not allow atomic resizing
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Allocating a large number of elements in atomic context could quickly
deplete memory reserves, so just disallow atomic resizing entirely.

Nothing currently uses mempool_resize() with anything other than
GFP_KERNEL, so convert existing callers to drop the gfp_mask.
