Re: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 06/16] wifi: mac80211: do not wake queues on a vif that is being stopped

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

 



I think this one had a regression and needs another init-lock-early patch to keep from causing
problems?

It certainly broke my 5.17-ish kernel...

Thanks,
Ben

[ Upstream commit f856373e2f31ffd340e47e2b00027bd4070f74b3 ]

When a vif is being removed and sdata->bss is cleared, __ieee80211_wake_txqs
can still be called on it, which crashes as soon as sdata->bss is being
dereferenced.
To fix this properly, check for SDATA_STATE_RUNNING before waking queues,
and take the fq lock when setting it (to ensure that __ieee80211_wake_txqs
observes the change when running on a different CPU)
