Subject: [PATCH] net: cadence: Fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in macb_halt_tx()
Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2018 20:11:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180901121105.436-1-baijiaju1990@gmail.com> (raw)
The kernel module may sleep with holding a spinlock.
The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16 are:
[FUNC] usleep_range
drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb_main.c, 648:
usleep_range in macb_halt_tx
drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb_main.c, 730:
macb_halt_tx in macb_tx_error_task
drivers/net/ethernet/cadence/macb_main.c, 721:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in macb_tx_error_task
To fix this bug, usleep_range() is replaced with udelay().
This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
