wdm_in_callback() is a completion handler function for the USB driver.
So it should not sleep. But it calls service_outstanding_interrupt(), 
which calls usb_submit_urb() with GFP_KERNEL. 

To fix this bug, GFP_KERNEL is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.

This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.

At which point does wdm_in_callback() invoke
service_outstanding_interrupt()? I don't see it. I see one invocation
from wdm_read() and another from service_interrupt_work().

Also, if that would be the case, then spin_unlock_irq() in an USB
completion handler (which might run in IRQ context with interrupts
disabled) would be wrong.

Yes, you are right.
I checked an old kernel version Linux-4.16 and got this report.
The current code looks much different from the code that I checked.
Sorry for my false report, and thanks for your correction.
