[PATCH 2/2] cfg80211: fix a bunch of RCU issues in multi-bssid code

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

 



From: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@xxxxxxxxx>

cfg80211_update_notlisted_nontrans() leaves the RCU critical session
too early, while still using nontrans_ssid which is RCU protected. In
addition, it performs a bunch of RCU pointer update operations such
as rcu_access_pointer and rcu_assign_pointer.

The caller, cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data(), also accesses the RCU
pointer without holding the lock.

Just wrap all of this with bss_lock.
