Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam

The kernel module may sleep with holding a spinlock. The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16 are: [FUNC] get_zeroed_page(GFP_NOFS) fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmdebug.c, 332: get_zeroed_page in dlm_print_one_mle fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 240: dlm_print_one_mle in __dlm_put_mle fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 255: __dlm_put_mle in dlm_put_mle fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 254: spin_lock in dlm_put_ml [FUNC] get_zeroed_page(GFP_NOFS) fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmdebug.c, 332: get_zeroed_page in dlm_print_one_mle fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 240: dlm_print_one_mle in __dlm_put_mle fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 222: __dlm_put_mle in dlm_put_mle_inuse fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 219: spin_lock in dlm_put_mle_inuse To fix this bug, GFP_NOFS is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.

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.
