During my development, I enabled some Linux kernel checkers, specifically
the “sleep in atomic” checker.
I ran into unrelated issue that appears to be a result of commit
463713eb6164b6 ("VMCI: dma dg: add support for DMA datagrams receive”).
IIUC, vmci_read_data() calls wait_event(), which is not allowed while IRQs
are disabled, which they are during IRQ handling.
I think "CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y" is the one that triggers the warning
below, which indicates a deadlock is possible.
The splat below (after decoding) was experienced on Linux 5.19. Let me know
if you need me to open a bug in bugzilla or whether this issue is already
known.
