I was seeing kernel crashes due to accessing freed memory
while debugging a 9984 firmware that was crashing often.
This patch fixes the crashes. I am not certain if there
is a better way or not.
I did some more hacking on this today. I think I found some better clue on this.
I added this code:
static void ath10k_mac_txq_init(struct ath10k *ar, struct ieee80211_txq *txq)
{
struct ath10k_txq *artxq = (void *)txq->drv_priv;
struct ath10k_txq *tmp, *walker;
struct ieee80211_txq *txq_tmp;
int i = 0;
if (!txq)
return;
spin_lock_bh(&ar->txqs_lock);
ar->txqs_lock.rlock.dbg1 = 104;
/* Remove from ar->txqs in case it still exists there. */
list_for_each_entry_safe(walker, tmp, &ar->txqs, list) {
txq_tmp = container_of((void *)walker, struct ieee80211_txq,
drv_priv);
if ((++i % 10000) == 0) {
ath10k_err(ar, "txq-init: Checking txq_tmp: %p i: %d\n", txq_tmp, i);
ath10k_err(ar, "txq-init: txqs: %p walker->list: %p w->next: %p w->prev: %p ar->txqs: %p\n",
&ar->txqs, &(walker->list), walker->list.next, walker->list.prev, &ar->txqs);
}
if (txq_tmp == txq) {
WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
ath10k_err(ar, "txq-init: Found txq when it should be deleted, txq_tmp: %p txq: %p\n",
txq_tmp, txq);
list_del(&walker->list);
}
}
spin_unlock_bh(&ar->txqs_lock);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&artxq->list);
}
[firmware has just crashed]
