The function gsm_dlci_t1() is a timer handler that runs in an
atomic context, but it calls "kzalloc(..., GFP_KERNEL)" that
may sleep. As a result, the sleep-in-atomic-context bug will
happen. The process is shown below:
gsm_dlci_t1()
gsm_dlci_open()
gsm_modem_update()
gsm_modem_upd_via_msc()
gsm_control_send()
kzalloc(sizeof(.., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep
This patch changes the gfp_t parameter of kzalloc() from GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_ATOMIC in order to mitigate the bug.

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.
