Description Jia-Ju Bai 2017-06-24 03:13:59 UTC 
The driver may sleep under a mutex, and the function call path is:
mlx_attach [line 432: acquire the mutex]
  mlx_enquire
    mlx_alloccmd
      bus_dmamap_create(BUS_DMA_WAITOK) --> may sleep

The possible fix of this bug is to replace the "BUS_DMA_WAITOK" in bus_dmamap_create with "BUS_DMA_NOWAIT".

This bug is found by a static analysis tool written by myself, and it is checked by my review of the FreeBSD code.
