Introduced in f9f475292dbb0e7035fb6661d1524761ea0888d9 cfg80211_conn_scan() which requires sched_scan_mtx to be held can be called from cfg80211_conn_work(). Without this we are hitting multiple warnings like the following: [ 51.996440] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 51.996484] WARNING: at net/wireless/sme.c:88 cfg80211_conn_scan+0x1dc/0x3a0 [cfg80211]() [ 51.996489] Hardware name: 0578A21 [ 51.996492] Modules linked in: iwldvm mac80211 uvcvideo videobuf2_vmalloc videobuf2_memops iwlwifi videobuf2_core videodev media cfg80211 ums_realtek kvm_intel kvm intel_ips r8169 lpc_ich joydev crc32c_intel acpi_cpufreq mperf thinkpad_acpi [ 51.996533] Pid: 620, comm: kworker/3:1 Not tainted 3.9.0-rc4-next-20130328+ #326 [ 51.996537] Call Trace: [ 51.996550] [<c1036992>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [ 51.996583] [<faa4b0ec>] ? cfg80211_conn_scan+0x1dc/0x3a0 [cfg80211] [ 51.996615] [<faa4b0ec>] ? cfg80211_conn_scan+0x1dc/0x3a0 [cfg80211] [ 51.996622] [<c10369e2>] warn_slowpath_null+0x22/0x30 [ 51.996654] [<faa4b0ec>] cfg80211_conn_scan+0x1dc/0x3a0 [cfg80211] [ 51.996662] [<c109076c>] ? __lock_is_held+0x3c/0x60 [ 51.996694] [<faa4b344>] cfg80211_conn_do_work+0x94/0x380 [cfg80211] [ 51.996700] [<c109175a>] ? __lock_acquire.isra.25+0x38a/0xc80 [ 51.996711] [<c109e679>] ? is_module_text_address+0x19/0x30 [ 51.996720] [<c10577cf>] ? __kernel_text_address+0x4f/0x70 [ 51.996728] [<c10052b1>] ? print_context_stack+0x41/0xd0 [ 51.996763] [<faa4c3b2>] cfg80211_conn_work+0xa2/0x130 [cfg80211] [ 51.996771] [<c1051858>] process_one_work+0x198/0x450 [ 51.996779] [<c10517d0>] ? process_one_work+0x110/0x450 [ 51.996787] [<c10527c9>] worker_thread+0xf9/0x320 [ 51.996795] [<c10526d0>] ? manage_workers.isra.17+0x260/0x260 [ 51.996803] [<c105a3c4>] kthread+0x94/0xa0 [ 51.996812] [<c1060000>] ? profiling_show+0x10/0x30 [ 51.996823] [<c170c277>] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x1b/0x28 [ 51.996830] [<c105a330>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x60/0x60 [ 51.996835] ---[ end trace 6c56f7f4ff21820b ]--- Signed-off-by: Artem Savkov <artem.savkov@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/wireless/sme.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/wireless/sme.c b/net/wireless/sme.c index 818ad63..a9dc5c7 100644 --- a/net/wireless/sme.c +++ b/net/wireless/sme.c @@ -228,6 +228,7 @@ void cfg80211_conn_work(struct work_struct *work) rtnl_lock(); cfg80211_lock_rdev(rdev); mutex_lock(&rdev->devlist_mtx); + mutex_lock(&rdev->sched_scan_mtx); list_for_each_entry(wdev, &rdev->wdev_list, list) { wdev_lock(wdev); @@ -252,6 +253,7 @@ void cfg80211_conn_work(struct work_struct *work) wdev_unlock(wdev); } + mutex_unlock(&rdev->sched_scan_mtx); mutex_unlock(&rdev->devlist_mtx); cfg80211_unlock_rdev(rdev); rtnl_unlock(); -- 1.8.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
