The driver may sleep under a spinlock. The function call path is: drm_vma_offset_manager_destroy (acquire the spinlock) drm_mm_takedown show_leaks kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) --> may sleep
To fix it, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC. This bug is found by my static analysis tool(DSAC) and checked by my code review.
