Subject: [PATCH 1/2] qla3xxx: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic bug in ql_sem_spinlock
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2017 18:01:13 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1513159273-14739-1-git-send-email-baijiaju1990@gmail.com> (raw)

The driver may sleep under a spinlock.
The function call paths are:
ql_get_full_dup (acquire the spinlock)
  ql_sem_spinlock
    ssleep --> may sleep

ql_get_auto_cfg_status (acquire the spinlock)
  ql_sem_spinlock
    ssleep --> may sleep

To fix it, ssleep is replaced with mdelay.

This bug is found by my static analysis tool(DSAC) and checked by my code review.
