The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock. The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.17 is: [FUNC] msleep drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 1536: msleep in issue_deauth_ex drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 5110: issue_deauth_ex in disconnect_hdl drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_cmd.c, 521: disconnect_hdl in rtw_disassoc_cmd drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 352: rtw_disassoc_cmd in rtw_set_802_11_infrastructure_mode drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c, 1002: rtw_set_802_11_infrastructure_mode in rtw_wx_set_wap drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c, 988: spin_lock_bh in rtw_wx_set_wap To fix this bug, msleep() is replaced with mdelay(). This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC. Signed-off-by: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
