[ Upstream commit 8dbd6e4ce1b9c527921643d9e34f188a10d4e893 ]
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.
