[bug report] [SCSI] mvumi: GFP_KERNEL under spin lock

[Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>]

Hello Jianyun Li,

The patch f0c568a478f0: "[SCSI] mvumi: Add Marvell UMI driver" from 
May 11, 2011, leads to the following warning:
drivers/scsi/mvumi.c:121 mvumi_alloc_mem_resource()
	 error: scheduling with locks held: 'spin_lock:host_lock'

The problem is that we do a couple GPF_KERNEL allocations in
mvumi_alloc_mem_resource() and this static analysis program sees a path
where that function is called with spin_locks held.

mvumi_isr_handler() <- takes a spin lock
-> mvumi_handshake()
   -> mvumi_init_data()
      -> mvumi_alloc_mem_resource() <- GFP_KERNEL

The IRQ handler does print a warning before calling mvumi_handshake()
so it seems like this path doesn't get exercised very much.

regards,
dan carpenter
