[PATCH] scsi: lpfc: Fix three sleep-in-atomic-context bugs in lpfc_sli4_nvmet_alloc()

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Fri Sep 14 2018 - 23:41:29 EST


The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock.
The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.17 are:

[FUNC] kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_mem.c, 633:
kzalloc in lpfc_sli4_nvmet_alloc
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 6729:
[FUNC_PTR]lpfc_sli4_nvmet_alloc in lpfc_post_rq_buffer
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 6723:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in lpfc_post_rq_buffer

[FUNC] dma_pool_alloc(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_mem.c, 637:
dma_pool_alloc in lpfc_sli4_nvmet_alloc
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 6729:
[FUNC_PTR]lpfc_sli4_nvmet_alloc in lpfc_post_rq_buffer
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 6723:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in lpfc_post_rq_buffer

[FUNC] dma_pool_alloc(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_mem.c, 643:
dma_pool_alloc in lpfc_sli4_nvmet_alloc
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 6729:
[FUNC_PTR]lpfc_sli4_nvmet_alloc in lpfc_post_rq_buffer
drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c, 6723:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in lpfc_post_rq_buffer

Note that [FUNC_PTR] means a function pointer call is used.

To fix these bugs, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.

These bugs are found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
