Linux kernel source tree
c0955bf957
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.

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.
