wacom_wac_queue_flush() is called via the .raw_event callback
(wacom_raw_event → wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce → wacom_wac_queue_flush).
For USB HID devices, this callback is invoked from hid_irq_in(), which
is a URB completion handler running in atomic context. Using GFP_KERNEL
in this path can sleep, leading to a "scheduling while atomic" bug.
Use GFP_ATOMIC instead. The existing code already handles allocation
failure by skipping the fifo entry and continuing.

If you want to give credit this should be "Reported-by: Sashiko-bot <...>".

As a followup please consider changing 'buf' management to use cleanup
facilities:
u8 *buf __free(kfree) = kzalloc(size, GFP_ATOMIC);
if (!buf) {
kfifo_skiip(fifo);
continue;
}
...
Thanks.
