[ Upstream commit b413b0cb008646e9f24ce5253cb3cf7ee217aff6 ]
There are sleep in atomic context bugs when the request to secure
element of st21nfca is timeout. The root cause is that kzalloc and
alloc_skb with GFP_KERNEL parameter and mutex_lock are called in
st21nfca_se_wt_timeout which is a timer handler. The call tree shows
the execution paths that could lead to bugs:
(Interrupt context)
st21nfca_se_wt_timeout
nfc_hci_send_event
nfc_hci_hcp_message_tx
kzalloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep
alloc_skb(..., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep
mutex_lock() //may sleep
This patch moves the operations that may sleep into a work item.
The work item will run in another kernel thread which is in
process context to execute the bottom half of the interrupt.
So it could prevent atomic context from sleeping.

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.
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.
