If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jia-Ju Bai [ Upstream commit 162bd5e5fd921785077b5862d8f2ffabe2fe11e5 ] The driver may sleep under a spinlock. The function call path is: hwsim_get_radio_nl (acquire the spinlock) nlmsg_new(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. This bug is found by my static analysis tool(DSAC) and checked by my code review.
