The commit below states that dpcm_be_connect() may be called from atomic context. It changes a GFP_KERNEL into a GFP_ATOMIC to deal with it.
Another memory allocation is done in dpcm_create_debugfs_state() which is called by dpcm_be_connect(). Also use GFP_ATOMIC there to be consistent and be compliant with atomic context.

Not clear to me how dpcm_be_connect() can be called from an atomic context, though. But better safe than sorry.
I don't think this no longer valid for the very latest code. The commit b7898396f4bb dropped the spurious dpcm_lock spinlock, so the code path you touched must be always sleepable.
Similarly, the commit d8a9c6e1f676 can be reverted now.
Can we really revert d8a9c6e1f676?
We did propagate the non-atomic FE property to the BE, but if both FE and BE are both atomic that constraint would be required, no?
thanks,
Takashi
