The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock. The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.17 is: [FUNC] usleep_range drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_cls.c, 391: usleep_range in cls_assert_modem_signals drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_cls.c, 449: cls_assert_modem_signals in cls_copy_data_from_queue_to_uart drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_cls.c, 406: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave in cls_copy_data_from_queue_to_uart To fix this bug, usleep_range() is replaced with udelay(). 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.
