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.

This might OOM under pressure.
Sorry, I do not understand this.
Could you please explain the reason?
This would need __GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_NORETRY I guess, and would target net-next
Do you mean
__get_free_pages(__GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_NORETRY) or
__get_free_pages(__GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_NORETRY | GFP_KERNEL)?
Best wishes,
