The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock. The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.17 are: [FUNC] msleep drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_pwrctrl.c, 1243: msleep in _rtw_pwr_wakeup drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 510: _rtw_pwr_wakeup in rtw_set_802_11_disassociate drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 501: spin_lock_bh in rtw_set_802_11_disassociate [FUNC] msleep drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_pwrctrl.c, 1255: msleep in _rtw_pwr_wakeup drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 510: _rtw_pwr_wakeup in rtw_set_802_11_disassociate drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 501: spin_lock_bh in rtw_set_802_11_disassociate To fix these bugs, msleep() is replaced with mdelay(). These bugs are 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.
