[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.14 109/135] rtl8188eu: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic bug in rtw_createbss_cmd

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2bf9806d4228f7a6195f8e03eda0479d2a93b411 ]

The driver may sleep under a spinlock, and the function call path is:
rtw_surveydone_event_callback(acquire the spinlock)
  rtw_createbss_cmd
    kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
