mwifiex: fix sleep in atomic context bugs caused by dev_coredumpv
There are sleep in atomic context bugs when uploading device dump data in mwifiex. The root cause is that dev_coredumpv could not be used in atomic contexts, because it calls dev_set_name which include operations that may sleep. The call tree shows execution paths that could lead to bugs: (Interrupt context) fw_dump_timer_fn mwifiex_upload_device_dump dev_coredumpv(..., GFP_KERNEL) dev_coredumpm() kzalloc(sizeof(*devcd), gfp); //may sleep dev_set_name kobject_set_name_vargs kvasprintf_const(GFP_KERNEL, ...); //may sleep kstrdup(s, GFP_KERNEL); //may sleep The corresponding fail log is shown below: [ 135.275938] usb 1-1: == mwifiex dump information to /sys/class/devcoredump start [ 135.281029] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:265 ...

[ 135.389205] usb 1-1: == mwifiex dump information to /sys/class/devcoredump end This patch uses delayed work to replace timer and moves the operations that may sleep into a delayed work in order to mitigate bugs, it was tested on Marvell 88W8801 chip whose port is usb and the firmware is usb8801_uapsta.bin. The following is the result after using delayed work to replace timer.
