cpm_muram_alloc_common() tries to support a kind of lazy initialization - if the muram_pool has not been created yet, it calls cpm_muram_init(). Now, cpm_muram_alloc_common() is always called under spin_lock_irqsave(&cpm_muram_lock, flags); and cpm_muram_init() does gen_pool_create() (which implies a GFP_KERNEL allocation) and ioremap(), not to mention the fun that ensues from cpm_muram_init() doing spin_lock_init(&cpm_muram_lock); In other words, this has never worked, so nobody can have been relying on it. cpm_muram_init() is called from a subsys_initcall (either from cpm_init() in arch/powerpc/sysdev/cpm_common.c or, via qe_reset(), from qe_init() in drivers/soc/fsl/qe/qe.c).

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 Restructured Text 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.
