The driver may sleep in an interrupt handler.
The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.17 is:
[FUNC] mempool_alloc(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_hbadisc.c, 4738:
mempool_alloc in lpfc_unreg_rpi
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_els.c, 2825:
lpfc_unreg_rpi in lpfc_issue_els_logo
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_els.c, 9488:
lpfc_issue_els_logo in lpfc_sli_abts_recover_port
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 9806:
lpfc_sli_abts_recover_port in lpfc_sli_abts_err_handler
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 9914:
lpfc_sli_abts_err_handler in lpfc_sli_async_event_handler
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 2755:
[FUNC_PTR]lpfc_sli_async_event_handler in lpfc_sli_process_unsol_iocb
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 3359:
lpfc_sli_process_unsol_iocb in lpfc_sli_handle_fast_ring_event
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 12383:
lpfc_sli_handle_fast_ring_event in lpfc_sli_fp_intr_handler
(interrupt handler)
Note that [FUNC_PTR] means a function pointer call is used.
To fix this bug, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
