There are sleep in atomic context bugs when uploading device dump data in mwifiex. The root cause is that dev_coredumpv could not be used in atomic contexts, because it calls dev_set_name which include operations that may sleep. The call tree shows execution paths that could lead to bugs: (Interrupt context) fw_dump_timer_fn mwifiex_upload_device_dump dev_coredumpv(..., GFP_KERNEL) dev_coredumpm() kzalloc(sizeof(*devcd), gfp); //may sleep dev_set_name kobject_set_name_vargs kvasprintf_const(GFP_KERNEL, ...); //may sleep kstrdup(s, GFP_KERNEL); //may sleep In order to let dev_coredumpv support atomic contexts, this patch changes the gfp_t parameter of kvasprintf_const and kstrdup in kobject_set_name_vargs from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC. What's more, In order to mitigate bug, this patch changes the gfp_t parameter of dev_coredumpv from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC.
