[PATCH] drivers: staging: r8188eu: Fix sleep-in-atomic-context bug in rtw_join_timeout_handler

From: Duoming Zhou
Date: Tue Oct 18 2022 - 04:35:01 EST


The rtw_join_timeout_handler() is a timer handler that
runs in atomic context, but it could call msleep().
As a result, the sleep-in-atomic-context bug will happen.
The process is shown below:

(atomic context)
rtw_join_timeout_handler
_rtw_join_timeout_handler
rtw_do_join
rtw_select_and_join_from_scanned_queue
rtw_indicate_disconnect
rtw_lps_ctrl_wk_cmd
lps_ctrl_wk_hdl
LPS_Leave
LPS_RF_ON_check
msleep //sleep in atomic context

Fix by removing msleep() and replacing with mdelay().
