| |
The function neigh_timer_handler() is a timer handler that runs in an atomic context. When used by rocker, neigh_timer_handler() calls "kzalloc(.., GFP_KERNEL)" that may sleep. As a result, the sleep in atomic context bug will happen. One of the processes is shown below:
ofdpa_fib4_add() ... neigh_add_timer()
(wait a timer)
neigh_timer_handler() neigh_release() neigh_destroy() rocker_port_neigh_destroy() rocker_world_port_neigh_destroy() ofdpa_port_neigh_destroy() ofdpa_port_ipv4_neigh() kzalloc(sizeof(.., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep
This patch changes the gfp_t parameter of kzalloc() from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC in order to mitigate the bug.
