From f898f36664a5d64a55c1257e55dfacaae6a86bb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jia-Ju Bai Date: Sun, 8 Oct 2017 19:54:45 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] rtl8188eu: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic bug in rtw_createbss_cmd [ Upstream commit 2bf9806d4228f7a6195f8e03eda0479d2a93b411 ] The driver may sleep under a spinlock, and the function call path is: rtw_surveydone_event_callback(acquire the spinlock) rtw_createbss_cmd kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
