The rtw_join_timeout_handler() is a timer handler that runs in atomic context, but it could call msleep(). As a result, the sleep-in-atomic-context bug will happen. The process is shown below: (atomic context) rtw_join_timeout_handler _rtw_join_timeout_handler rtw_do_join rtw_select_and_join_from_scanned_queue rtw_indicate_disconnect rtw_lps_ctrl_wk_cmd lps_ctrl_wk_hdl LPS_Leave LPS_RF_ON_check msleep //sleep in atomic context Fix by removing msleep() and replacing with mdelay().
