[PATCH] enic: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug

From: Jia-Ju Bai <hidden>
Date: 2017-05-31 02:32:52
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: cisco vic ethernet nic driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Satish Kharat, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The driver may sleep under a spin lock in some function call paths.
The 1st function call path is:
enic_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
  enic_stop
    enic_synchronize_irqs
      synchronize_irq --> may sleep
The 2nd function call path is:
enic_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
  enic_dev_soft_reset
    enic_dev_wait
      schedule_timeout_uninterruptible --> may sleep
The 3rd function call path is:
enic_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
  enic_open
    enic_request_intr
      enic_set_rx_cpu_rmap
        enic_free_rx_cpu_rmap
          free_irq_cpu_rmap --> may sleep

To fix it, the "spin_lock" and "spin_unlock" are removed in enic_reset.
