commit543af5861fupstream. We are hitting a regression with the following commit: commita93e7b3315Author: Hamish Martin <hamish.martin@alliedtelesis.co.nz> Date: Mon May 14 13:32:23 2018 +1200 uio: Prevent device destruction while fds are open The problem is the addition of spin_lock_irqsave in uio_write. This leads to hitting uio_write -> copy_from_user -> _copy_from_user -> might_fault and the logs filling up with sleeping warnings. I also noticed some uio drivers allocate memory, sleep, grab mutexes from callouts like open() and release and uio is now doing spin_lock_irqsave while calling them.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
