Just a few lines below this kzalloc() we have a mutex_lock() which can
sleep.
Moreover, the only way to call this function is when a delayed work is
schedule. And delayed work can sleep:
INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&fw_event->work, mptsas_firmware_event_work);
--> mptsas_firmware_event_work()
--> mptsas_send_link_status_event()
--> mptsas_expander_add()
So there is really no good reason to use GFP_ATOMIC here. Change it to
GFP_KERNEL to give more opportunities to the kernel.

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.
