[PATCH] mac80211: avoid deadlock revealed by lockdep

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



sdata->u.ap.request_smps_work can’t be flushed synchronously
under wdev_lock(wdev) since ieee80211_request_smps_ap_work
itself locks the same lock.
While at it, reset the driver_smps_mode when the ap is
stopped to its default: OFF.

This solves:

======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
3.12.0-ipeer+ #2 Tainted: G           O
-------------------------------------------------------
rmmod/2867 is trying to acquire lock:
  ((&sdata->u.ap.request_smps_work)){+.+...}, at: [<c105b8d0>] flush_work+0x0/0x90

but task is already holding lock:
  (&wdev->mtx){+.+.+.}, at: [<f9b32626>] cfg80211_stop_ap+0x26/0x230 [cfg80211]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
