[RFC] mac80211: fix possible tid_rx->reorder_timer use after free

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

 



Is possible that we arm tid_rx->reorder_timer after del_timer_sync(). To
fix: first wait for RCU grace period finish and then delete timer. Timer
will not be armed again as rcu_dereference(sta->ampdu_mlme.tid_rx[tid])
will return NULL.

Debug object detected problem with the following warning:
ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: sta_rx_agg_reorder_timer_expired+0x0/0xf0 [mac80211]
