Jia-Ju Bai b7ac893652 net: nfc: nci: fix a possible sleep-in-atomic-context bug in nci_uart_tty_receive()
The kernel may sleep while holding a spinlock.
The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux 4.19 is:

net/nfc/nci/uart.c, 349:
	nci_skb_alloc in nci_uart_default_recv_buf
net/nfc/nci/uart.c, 255:
	(FUNC_PTR)nci_uart_default_recv_buf in nci_uart_tty_receive
net/nfc/nci/uart.c, 254:
	spin_lock in nci_uart_tty_receive

nci_skb_alloc(GFP_KERNEL) can sleep at runtime.
(FUNC_PTR) means a function pointer is called.

To fix this bug, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC for
nci_skb_alloc().

This bug is 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.
