The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is: b43legacy_op_bss_info_changed (acquire the lock by spin_lock_irqsave) b43legacy_synchronize_irq synchronize_irq --> may sleep To fix it, the lock is released before b43legacy_synchronize_irq, and the lock is acquired again after this function.
