[ Upstream commit b74351287d4bd90636c3f48bc188c2f53824c2d4 ] The driver may sleep while holding a spinlock. The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux 4.19 is: kernel/irq/manage.c, 523: synchronize_irq in disable_irq drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.c, 140: disable_irq in uio_dmem_genirq_irqcontrol drivers/uio/uio_dmem_genirq.c, 134: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave in uio_dmem_genirq_irqcontrol synchronize_irq() can sleep at runtime. To fix this bug, disable_irq() is called without holding the spinlock. This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by myself.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
