The driver may sleep under a spin lock, and the function call path is: ubifs_change_lp (acquire the lock by spin_lock) change_category ubifs_remove_from_cat remove_from_lpt_heap dbg_check_heap ubifs_lpt_lookup ubifs_read_nnode kzalloc(GFP_NOFS) --> may sleep
To fix it, "GFP_NOFS" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".
