Subject[PATCH] isdn: mISDN: layer2: Fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in create_l2()
Date
The kernel module may sleep with holding a spinlock.

The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16 are:

[FUNC] kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
drivers/isdn/mISDN/layer2.c, 2126: kzalloc in create_l2
drivers/isdn/mISDN/tei.c, 1054: create_l2 in create_teimgr
drivers/isdn/mISDN/tei.c, 1278: create_teimgr in mgr_ctrl
drivers/isdn/mISDN/tei.c, 1048: [FUNC_PTR]mgr_ctrl in create_teimgr
drivers/isdn/mISDN/tei.c, 1045: _raw_read_lock_irqsave in create_teimgr

Note that [FUNC_PTR] means a function pointer call is used.

To fix this bug, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.

This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC
