If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7d0395ce4926cbb267072c13f02cba60b68cc4db Author: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jul 10 18:30:02 2022 +0800 staging: rtl8192u: Fix sleep in atomic context bug in dm_fsync_timer_callback [ Upstream commit 6a0c054930d554ad8f8044ef1fc856d9da391c81 ] There are sleep in atomic context bugs when dm_fsync_timer_callback is executing. The root cause is that the memory allocation functions with GFP_KERNEL or GFP_NOIO parameters are called in dm_fsync_timer_callback which is a timer handler. The call paths that could trigger bugs are shown below: (interrupt context) dm_fsync_timer_callback write_nic_byte kzalloc(sizeof(data), GFP_KERNEL); //may sleep usb_control_msg kmalloc(.., GFP_NOIO); //may sleep write_nic_dword kzalloc(sizeof(data), GFP_KERNEL); //may sleep usb_control_msg kmalloc(.., GFP_NOIO); //may sleep This patch uses delayed work to replace timer and moves the operations that may sleep into the delayed work in order to mitigate bugs.
