found that within a critical section of spin_lock_irqsave in\nsidtab_context_to_sid(), convert_context() (hooked by\nsidtab_convert_params.func) might cause the process to sleep via\nallocating memory with GFP_KERNEL, which is problematic.\n\nAs Ondrej pointed out [1], convert_context()/sidtab_convert_params.func\nhas another caller sidtab_convert_tree(), which is okay with GFP_KERNEL.\nTherefore, fix this problem by adding a gfp_t argument for\nconvert_context()/sidtab_convert_params.func and pass GFP_KERNEL/_ATOMIC\nproperly in individual callers.\n\n[PM: wrap long BUG() output lines, tweak
