The existing code uses iter->type to figure out what data is needed, the live copy (READ) or clone (UPDATE). Without pending updates, priv->clone and priv->match will point to different memory locations, but they have identical content. Future patch will make priv->clone == NULL if there are no pending changes, in this case we must copy the live data for the UPDATE case. Currently this would require GFP_ATOMIC allocation. Split the walk function in two parts: one that does the walk and one that decides which data is needed. In the UPDATE case, callers hold the transaction mutex so we do not need the rcu read lock. This allows to use GFP_KERNEL allocation while cloning.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
