4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 343eba69c6968190d8654b857aea952fed9a6749 ] The kernel may sleep under a rcu read lock in tipc_msg_reverse, and the function call path is: tipc_l2_rcv_msg (acquire the lock by rcu_read_lock) tipc_rcv tipc_sk_rcv tipc_msg_reverse pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep tipc_node_broadcast tipc_node_xmit_skb tipc_node_xmit tipc_sk_rcv tipc_msg_reverse pskb_expand_head(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep To fix it, "GFP_KERNEL" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".
