dn_route_init() is never called in atomic context.

The call chain ending up at dn_route_init() is:
[1] dn_route_init() <- decnet_init()
decnet_init() is only set as a parameter of module_init().

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
dn_route_init() calls __get_free_pages() with GFP_ATOMIC,
which waits busily for allocation.
GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL,
to avoid busy waiting and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it.
