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.

README
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.
