Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: rtl8723bs: Fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in issue_deauth_ex()
Date:   Sat, 15 Sep 2018 10:49:28 +0800
Message-Id: <20180915024928.30953-1-baijiaju1990@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

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

[FUNC] msleep
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 3805: 
	msleep in issue_deauth_ex
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 6336: 
	issue_deauth_ex in disconnect_hdl
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_cmd.c, 963: 
	disconnect_hdl in rtw_disassoc_cmd
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 506: 
	rtw_disassoc_cmd in rtw_set_802_11_disassociate
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_ioctl_set.c, 501: 
	spin_lock_bh in rtw_set_802_11_disassociate

[FUNC] msleep
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 3805: 
	msleep in issue_deauth_ex
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c, 6336: 
	issue_deauth_ex in disconnect_hdl
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_cmd.c, 963: 
	disconnect_hdl in rtw_disassoc_cmd
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme.c, 2256: 
	rtw_disassoc_cmd in rtw_select_and_join_from_scanned_queue
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_mlme.c, 2204: 
	spin_lock_bh in rtw_select_and_join_from_scanned_queue

To fix this bug, msleep() is replaced with mdelay().

This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.
