async_complete() in uss720.c is a completion handler function for the USB driver. So it should not sleep, but it is can sleep according to the function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16.

To fix these bugs, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. These bugs are found by my static analysis tool DSAC.

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.
