The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock.
The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.17 is:
[FUNC] msleep
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 1536:
msleep in issue_deauth_ex
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 5110:
issue_deauth_ex in disconnect_hdl
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_cmd.c, 521:
disconnect_hdl in rtw_disassoc_cmd
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 352:
rtw_disassoc_cmd in rtw_set_802_11_infrastructure_mode
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c, 1002:
rtw_set_802_11_infrastructure_mode in rtw_wx_set_wap
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c, 988:
spin_lock_bh in rtw_wx_set_wap
To fix this bug, msleep() is replaced with mdelay().
This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
