Subject[PATCH] sound/pci/riptide or drivers/base/firmware: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic bug
Date
The riptide driver may sleep under a spinlock, and the function call path is:
snd_riptide_prepare (acquire the spinlock)
setsampleformat
sendcmd
riptide_reset
try_to_load_firmware
request_firmware
_request_firmware (drivers/base/firmware_class.c)
_request_firmware_prepare
kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep

To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC in _request_firmware_prepare.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
