The lantiq-ssc driver uses internally an own workqueue to wait till the data is not only written out of the FIFO but really written to the wire. This workqueue is flushed while the SPI subsystem is working in some other system workqueue. The system workqueue is marked as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, but the workqueue in the lantiq-ssc driver does not use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM for now. Add this flag too to prevent this warning. This fixes the following warning: [ 2.972635] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 2.975956] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 17 at kernel/workqueue.c:2614 check_flush_dependency+0x168/0x184 [ 2.984752] workqueue: WQ_MEM_RECLAIM kblockd:blk_mq_run_work_fn is flushing !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM 1e100800.spi:0x0 [ 2.984759] Modules linked in: [ 2.997686] CPU: 1 PID: 17 Comm: kworker/1:0H Not tainted 5.4.51 #0 [ 3.003927] Workqueue: kblockd blk_mq_run_work_fn [ 3.008610] Stack : 80662c88 83c75794 806e0000 80730000 83c1de80 806744ac 80045888 00000009 [ 3.016965] 83fb6510 83d779b4 83e81e00 8007b6d4 00000001 00000001 83c75750 760d28ee [ 3.025321] 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000096 6b5f666e 00000000 5f72756e 5f776f72 [ 3.033677] 00000096 808b0000 00000000 00000f57 00000000 80750000 00000000 80045888 [ 3.042032] 00000009 83fb6510 83d779b4 83e81e00 00000000 00000010 00000004 80880004 [ 3.050388] ...
