staging: rtl8188eu: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic-context bug in rtw_disassoc_cmd()
The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock. The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16.7 are: [FUNC] kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_cmd.c, 502: kzalloc in rtw_disassoc_cmd drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 256: rtw_disassoc_cmd in rtw_set_802_11_ssid drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 235: spin_lock_bh in rtw_set_802_11_ssid [FUNC] kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_cmd.c, 502: kzalloc in rtw_disassoc_cmd drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 352: rtw_disassoc_cmd in rtw_set_802_11_infrastructure_mode drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 336: spin_lock_bh in rtw_set_802_11_infrastructure_mode To fix this bug, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. This bug is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC-2) and checked by my code review. Signed-off-by: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
