Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8188eu: Fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in issue_deauth_ex()
Date:   Sat, 15 Sep 2018 10:57:11 +0800
Message-Id: <20180915025711.7414-1-baijiaju1990@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

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.
