[PATCH v7 2/2 RESEND] mwifiex: fix sleep in atomic context bugs caused by dev_coredumpv

From: Duoming Zhou
Date: Wed Aug 17 2022 - 08:40:11 EST


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.
