With the ltlk and spkout drivers, the index read function, i.e. in_nowait, is getting called from the read_all_doc mechanism, from the timer softirq: Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack+0x71/0x98 dequeue_task_idle+0x1f/0x28 __schedule+0x167/0x5d6 ? trace_hardirqs_on+0x2e/0x3a ? usleep_range+0x7f/0x7f schedule+0x8a/0xae schedule_timeout+0xb1/0xea ? del_timer_sync+0x31/0x31 do_wait_for_common+0xba/0x12b ? wake_up_q+0x45/0x45 wait_for_common+0x37/0x50 ttyio_in+0x2a/0x6b spk_ttyio_in_nowait+0xc/0x13 spk_get_index_count+0x20/0x93 cursor_done+0x1c6/0x4c6 ? read_all_doc+0xb1/0xb1 call_timer_fn+0x89/0x140 run_timer_softirq+0x164/0x1a5 ? read_all_doc+0xb1/0xb1 ? hrtimer_forward+0x7b/0x87 ? timerqueue_add+0x62/0x68 ? enqueue_hrtimer+0x95/0x9f __do_softirq+0x181/0x31f irq_exit+0x6a/0x86 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x15e/0x183 apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20 </IRQ> We thus should not schedule() at all, even with timeout == 0, this crashes the kernel. We can however use try_wait_for_completion() instead of wait_for_completion_timeout(0).

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.
