[ Upstream commit8dbd6e4ce1] The watchdog timer is used to monitor whether the process of transmitting data is timeout. If we use qlcnic driver, the dev_watchdog() that is the timer handler of watchdog timer will call qlcnic_tx_timeout() to process the timeout. But the qlcnic_tx_timeout() calls msleep(), as a result, the sleep-in-atomic-context bugs will happen. The processes are shown below: (atomic context) dev_watchdog qlcnic_tx_timeout qlcnic_83xx_idc_request_reset qlcnic_83xx_lock_driver msleep --------------------------- (atomic context) dev_watchdog qlcnic_tx_timeout qlcnic_83xx_idc_request_reset qlcnic_83xx_lock_driver qlcnic_83xx_recover_driver_lock msleep Fix by changing msleep() to mdelay(), the mdelay() is busy-waiting and the bugs could be mitigated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
