[PATCH] cachefiles: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in cachefiles_printk_object

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The driver may sleep under a write spin lock, and the function 
call path is:
cachefiles_mark_object_active (acquire the lock by write_lock)
  cachefiles_printk_object
    kmalloc(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep
cachefiles_mark_object_buried (acquire the lock by write_lock)
  cachefiles_printk_object
    kmalloc(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep

To fix it, "GFP_NOIO" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".
