Hi!
There is a potential race condition in
drivers/net/wireless/libertas/libertas.ko.
In the function lbs_hard_start_xmit(..), line 159, a socket buffer is
written to priv->current_skb with a spin_lock protection.
In the function lbs_mac_event_disconnected(..), lines 50-51, the field
current_skb is cleaned. There is no protection used. The corresponding
handlers are activated at the same time in lbs_start_card(..) and then
may be executed simultaneously. Note, there are two structures
lbs_netdev_ops and mesh_netdev_ops, which have the target handler
lbs_hard_start_xmit.
Is it a real race or I have missed something?
