The driver may sleep while holding a spinlock.
The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux 4.19 is:
drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_resource.c, 312:
mutex_lock in pcmcia_fixup_vpp
drivers/mtd/maps/pcmciamtd.c, 309:
pcmcia_fixup_vpp in pcmciamtd_set_vpp
drivers/mtd/maps/pcmciamtd.c, 306:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in pcmciamtd_set_vpp
drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_resource.c, 312:
mutex_lock in pcmcia_fixup_vpp
drivers/mtd/maps/pcmciamtd.c, 312:
pcmcia_fixup_vpp in pcmciamtd_set_vpp
drivers/mtd/maps/pcmciamtd.c, 306:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in pcmciamtd_set_vp
mutex_lock() may sleep at runtime.
To fix these bugs, the spinlock is replaced with a mutex.
These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by
myself.
