From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 23dd4581350d4ffa23d58976ec46408f8f4c1e16 ] There are sleep in atomic context bugs when the request to secure element of st-nci is timeout. The root cause is that nci_skb_alloc with GFP_KERNEL parameter is called in st_nci_se_wt_timeout which is a timer handler. The call paths that could trigger bugs are shown below: (interrupt context 1) st_nci_se_wt_timeout nci_hci_send_event nci_hci_send_data nci_skb_alloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep (interrupt context 2) st_nci_se_wt_timeout nci_hci_send_event nci_hci_send_data nci_send_data nci_queue_tx_data_frags nci_skb_alloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep This patch changes allocation mode of nci_skb_alloc from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC in order to prevent atomic context sleeping. The GFP_ATOMIC flag makes memory allocation operation could be used in atomic context.
