Subject: rtl8188eu: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic bug in rtw_createbss_cmd
From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@163.com>
[ Upstream commit 2bf9806d4228f7a6195f8e03eda0479d2a93b411 ]
The driver may sleep under a spinlock, and the function call path is:
rtw_surveydone_event_callback(acquire the spinlock)
rtw_createbss_cmd
kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep
To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
