This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: cdc-wdm: Fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 6e22e3af7bb3a7b9dc53cb4687659f6e63fca427 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2018 16:12:10 +0800 Subject: usb: cdc-wdm: Fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in service_outstanding_interrupt() wdm_in_callback() is a completion handler function for the USB driver. So it should not sleep. But it calls service_outstanding_interrupt(), which calls usb_submit_urb() with GFP_KERNEL. To fix this bug, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
