    mwifiex: fix sleep in atomic context bugs caused by dev_coredumpv · 551e4745
    Duoming Zhou authored
    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.
