The driver may sleep under a spinlock. The function call path is: bdisp_device_run (acquire the spinlock) bdisp_hw_update bdisp_hw_save_request devm_kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. This bug is found by my static analysis tool(DSAC) and checked by my code review.
