From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> This is needed since it calls into the driver, which must have the same context as if we got to destroy an interface through nl80211. Fix this, and add a direct lockdep assertion so we don't see it pop up only when the driver calls back to cfg80211. Fixes: a05829a7222e ("cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the driver") Reported-by: syzbot+4305e814f9b267131776@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/wireless/core.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/wireless/core.c b/net/wireless/core.c index 200cd9f5fd5f..18f9a5c214b5 100644 --- a/net/wireless/core.c +++ b/net/wireless/core.c @@ -334,6 +334,7 @@ void cfg80211_destroy_ifaces(struct cfg80211_registered_device *rdev) struct wireless_dev *wdev, *tmp; ASSERT_RTNL(); + lockdep_assert_wiphy(&rdev->wiphy); list_for_each_entry_safe(wdev, tmp, &rdev->wiphy.wdev_list, list) { if (wdev->nl_owner_dead) @@ -349,7 +350,9 @@ static void cfg80211_destroy_iface_wk(struct work_struct *work) destroy_work); rtnl_lock(); + wiphy_lock(&rdev->wiphy); cfg80211_destroy_ifaces(rdev); + wiphy_unlock(&rdev->wiphy); rtnl_unlock(); } -- 2.26.2
