[ Upstream commit 7b7dfe4833c70a11cdfa51b38705103bd31eddaa ]
The function gsm_dlci_t1() is a timer handler that runs in an
atomic context, but it calls "kzalloc(..., GFP_KERNEL)" that
may sleep. As a result, the sleep-in-atomic-context bug will
happen. The process is shown below:
gsm_dlci_t1()
gsm_dlci_open()
gsm_modem_update()
gsm_modem_upd_via_msc()
gsm_control_send()
kzalloc(sizeof(.., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep
This patch changes the gfp_t parameter of kzalloc() from GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_ATOMIC in order to mitigate the bug.
Fixes: e1eaea46bb40 ("tty: n_gsm line discipline")
