The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock.
The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16.7 are:
[FUNC] kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_cmd.c, 502:
kzalloc in rtw_disassoc_cmd
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 256:
rtw_disassoc_cmd in rtw_set_802_11_ssid
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 235:
spin_lock_bh in rtw_set_802_11_ssid
[FUNC] kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_cmd.c, 502:
kzalloc in rtw_disassoc_cmd
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 352:
rtw_disassoc_cmd in rtw_set_802_11_infrastructure_mode
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 336:
spin_lock_bh in rtw_set_802_11_infrastructure_mode
To fix this bug, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC-2) and checked by
my code review.
