4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> commit 6d4f268fa132742fe96dad22307c68d237356d88 upstream. i_usX2Y_subs_startup in usbusx2yaudio.c is a completion handler function for the USB driver. So it should not sleep, but it is can sleep according to the function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16. [FUNC] msleep drivers/usb/host/u132-hcd.c, 2558: msleep in u132_get_frame drivers/usb/core/hcd.c, 2231: [FUNC_PTR]u132_get_frame in usb_hcd_get_frame_number drivers/usb/core/usb.c, 822: usb_hcd_get_frame_number in usb_get_current_frame_number sound/usb/usx2y/usbusx2yaudio.c, 303: usb_get_current_frame_number in i_usX2Y_urb_complete sound/usb/usx2y/usbusx2yaudio.c, 366: i_usX2Y_urb_complete in i_usX2Y_subs_startup Note that [FUNC_PTR] means a function pointer call is used. To fix this bug, msleep() is replaced with mdelay(). This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
