[PATCH] ath9k: fix access to freed data on unload

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

 



Calling ath_bus_cleanup() after ieee80211_free_hw() resulted in access
to common->bus_ops, which is already freed as part of the device data.

Remove the cleanup field in struct ath_bus_ops, as it was never used
properly.  Remove ath_bus_cleanup().  Merge cleanup functions in place
of the ath_bus_cleanup() calls.  Take care not to use any device data
after ieee80211_free_hw().

The bug was causing a hang on a kernel with most debugging options
enabled.  I think the fix is important and simple enough for stable
kernels.  I wish I could make the patch smaller, but I didn't want to
leave unused and dangerous fields and functions.

ath9k was tested on the PCI bus.  ath9k on AHB was compile tested.
ath5k and ar9170 use struct ath_bus_ops, but don't use the cleanup
field, so they are not affected.
