Hello, I have a patch to grab some info from the link object in link_sta_vht_capa_read(), and based on lockdep warnings, it seems I need to hold the wiphy mutex before I grab the link: From my modified logic: static ssize_t link_sta_vht_capa_read(struct file *file, char __user *userbuf, size_t count, loff_t *ppos) { char *buf, *p; struct link_sta_info *link_sta = file->private_data; struct ieee80211_sta_vht_cap *vhtc = &link_sta->pub->vht_cap; struct cfg80211_chan_def *chandef = &link_sta->sta->sdata->vif.bss_conf.chandef; struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata = link_sta->sta->sdata; struct ieee80211_link_data *link; ssize_t ret; ssize_t bufsz = 512; buf = kzalloc(bufsz, GFP_KERNEL); if (!buf) return -ENOMEM; p = buf; wiphy_lock(sdata->local->hw.wiphy); link = sdata_dereference(sdata->link[link_sta->link_id], sdata); if (link && link->conf) chandef = &link->conf->chandef; ... p += scnprintf(p, bufsz + buf - p, "Chandef-Bandwidth:\t"); switch (chandef->width) { case NL80211_CHAN_WIDTH_20_NOHT: p += scnprintf(p, bufsz + buf - p, "20Mhz-NOHT"); break; .... wiphy_unlock(sdata->local->hw.wiphy); ... While running with this code in place, I saw the OS lockup, and I am suspicious that this is because something is reading from the debugfs file (and blocked trying to grab the mtx) while something else is trying to remove debugfs files while already holding the mtx. I assume there is *some* way to safely access the link in the debugfs code...any idea how? I notice that sta_agg_status_write() method already grabs the wiphy lock, so probably it would have same potential lockup. Lockup splat is below.
