Subject: [PATCH] HID: multitouch: use GFP_ATOMIC for report/application/usage allocations
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 22:37:46 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910153746.16222-1-ngocthang2710.1999@gmail.com> (raw)

mt_allocate_report_data(), mt_allocate_application() and
mt_allocate_usage() devm_kzalloc() with GFP_KERNEL, but they are
reachable from mt_event()/mt_report() via hid_report_raw_event(),
which can run in (soft)irq context off a USB URB completion (e.g.
dummy_hcd's hrtimer softirq). GFP_KERNEL there may call into
fs_reclaim, which lockdep flags as an inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} ->
{IN-SOFTIRQ-W} use of fs_reclaim, alongside a "sleeping function
called from invalid context" splat.

Switch all three to GFP_ATOMIC since none of them are on a path that
needs to sleep.
