Subject: [PATCH net v2] netrom: fix sleep in atomic context bugs in timer handlers
Date:   Tue, 26 Jul 2022 11:24:20 +0800
Message-Id: <20220726032420.5516-1-duoming@zju.edu.cn>
Precedence: bulk

There are sleep in atomic context bugs in timer handlers of netrom
such as nr_t1timer_expiry(), nr_t2timer_expiry(), nr_heartbeat_expiry(),
nr_idletimer_expiry() and so on.

The root cause is kmemdup() with GFP_KERNEL parameter that may sleep
could be called by different timer handlers which is in interrupt context.

One of the call paths that could trigger bug is shown below:

      (interrupt context)
nr_heartbeat_expiry
  nr_write_internal
    nr_transmit_buffer
      nr_route_frame
        nr_add_node
          kmemdup(..,GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep

This patch changes gfp_t parameter of kmemdup in nr_add_node()
from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC in order to prevent sleep in atomic
context bugs.
