Subject: [PATCH] hid: hid-core: Fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in __hid_request()
Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2018 20:16:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180901121659.1257-1-baijiaju1990@gmail.com> (raw)
The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock.
The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16 are:
[FUNC] hid_alloc_report_buf(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/hid/hid-core.c, 1435:
hid_alloc_report_buf in __hid_request
./include/linux/hid.h, 1023:
__hid_request in hid_hw_request
drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c, 111:
hid_hw_request in picolcd_send_and_wait
drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c, 100:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in picolcd_send_and_wait
[FUNC] hid_alloc_report_buf(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/hid/hid-core.c, 1435:
hid_alloc_report_buf in __hid_request
./include/linux/hid.h, 1023:
__hid_request in hid_hw_request
drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c, 245:
hid_hw_request in picolcd_reset
drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_core.c, 235:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in picolcd_reset
[FUNC] hid_alloc_report_buf(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/hid/hid-core.c, 1435:
hid_alloc_report_buf in __hid_request
./include/linux/hid.h, 1023:
__hid_request in hid_hw_request
drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_fb.c, 215:
hid_hw_request in picolcd_fb_reset
drivers/hid/hid-picolcd_fb.c, 206:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in picolcd_fb_reset
[FUNC] hid_alloc_report_buf(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/hid/hid-core.c, 1435:
hid_alloc_report_buf in __hid_request
./include/linux/hid.h, 1023:
__hid_request in hid_hw_request
drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c, 465:
hid_hw_request in lg4ff_play
drivers/hid/hid-lg4ff.c, 441:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in lg4ff_play
To fix this bug, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
