can: kvaser_usb: Do not sleep in atomic context
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Upon receiving a hardware event with the BUS_RESET flag set,
the driver kills all of its anchored URBs and resets all of
its transmit URB contexts.

Unfortunately it does so under the context of URB completion
handler `kvaser_usb_read_bulk_callback()', which is often
called in an atomic context.

While the device is flooded with many received error packets,
usb_kill_urb() typically sleeps/reschedules till the transfer
request of each killed URB in question completes, leading to
the sleep in atomic bug. [3]

In v2 submission of the original driver patch [1], it was
stated that the URBs kill and tx contexts reset was needed
since we don't receive any tx acknowledgments later and thus
such resources will be locked down forever. Fortunately this
is no longer needed since an earlier bugfix in this patch
series is now applied: all tx URB contexts are reset upon CAN
channel close. [2]

Moreover, a BUS_RESET is now treated _exactly_ like a BUS_OFF
event, which is the recommended handling method advised by
the device manufacturer.
