The driver may sleep under a spinlock, and the function call path is: vt6655_suspend (acquire the spinlock) pci_set_power_state __pci_start_power_transition (drivers/pci/pci.c) msleep --> may sleep To fix it, pci_set_power_state is called without having a spinlock. This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
