Duoming Zhou c8e8b8b9f2 mwifiex: fix sleep in atomic context bugs caused by dev_coredumpv
[ Upstream commit a52ed4866d2b90dd5e4ae9dabd453f3ed8fa3cbc ]

There are sleep in atomic context bugs when uploading device dump
data in mwifiex. The root cause is that dev_coredumpv could not
be used in atomic contexts, because it calls dev_set_name which
include operations that may sleep. The call tree shows execution
paths that could lead to bugs:

   (Interrupt context)
fw_dump_timer_fn
  mwifiex_upload_device_dump
    dev_coredumpv(..., GFP_KERNEL)
      dev_coredumpm()
        kzalloc(sizeof(*devcd), gfp); //may sleep
        dev_set_name
          kobject_set_name_vargs
            kvasprintf_const(GFP_KERNEL, ...); //may sleep
            kstrdup(s, GFP_KERNEL); //may sleep

The corresponding fail log is shown below:

[  135.389205] usb 1-1: == mwifiex dump information to /sys/class/devcoredump end

This patch uses delayed work to replace timer and moves the operations
that may sleep into a delayed work in order to mitigate bugs, it was
tested on Marvell 88W8801 chip whose port is usb and the firmware is
usb8801_uapsta.bin. The following is the result after using delayed
work to replace timer.

[  134.936453] usb 1-1: == mwifiex dump information to /sys/class/devcoredump start
[  135.043344] usb 1-1: == mwifiex dump information to /sys/class/devcoredump end

As we can see, there is no bug now.

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.
