From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 999865764f5f128896402572b439269acb471022 ] The kernel module may sleep with holding a spinlock. The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16 are: [FUNC] get_zeroed_page(GFP_NOFS) fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmdebug.c, 332: get_zeroed_page in dlm_print_one_mle fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 240: dlm_print_one_mle in __dlm_put_mle fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 255: __dlm_put_mle in dlm_put_mle fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 254: spin_lock in dlm_put_ml [FUNC] get_zeroed_page(GFP_NOFS) fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmdebug.c, 332: get_zeroed_page in dlm_print_one_mle fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 240: dlm_print_one_mle in __dlm_put_mle fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 222: __dlm_put_mle in dlm_put_mle_inuse fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 219: spin_lock in dlm_put_mle_inuse To fix this bug, GFP_NOFS is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
