From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> Drivers typically expect this, as it's the case for almost all cases where this is called (i.e. from the TX path). Also, the code in mac80211 itself (if the driver calls ieee80211_tx_dequeue()) expects this as it uses this_cpu_ptr() without additional protection. This should fix various reports of the problem: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204127 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/CAN5HydrWb3o_FE6A1XDnP1E+xS66d5kiEuhHfiGKkLNQokx13Q@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/nycvar.YFH.7.76.1909111238470.473@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Reported-by: Jiri Kosina <jikos@xxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Aaron Hill <aa1ronham@xxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Lukas Redlinger <rel+kernel@xxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Oleksii Shevchuk <alxchk@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/mac80211/util.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/mac80211/util.c b/net/mac80211/util.c index 051a02ddcb85..ad1e88958da2 100644 --- a/net/mac80211/util.c +++ b/net/mac80211/util.c @@ -273,9 +273,9 @@ static void __ieee80211_wake_txqs(struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata, int ac) &txqi->flags)) continue; - spin_unlock_bh(&fq->lock); + spin_unlock(&fq->lock); drv_wake_tx_queue(local, txqi); - spin_lock_bh(&fq->lock); + spin_lock(&fq->lock); } } -- 2.20.1
