This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled cfg80211: Acquire wiphy mutex on regulatory work to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: cfg80211-acquire-wiphy-mutex-on-regulatory-work.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d1f578bca2bb2ca96560b6f33bf4e57cbbec599d Author: Ilan Peer <ilan.peer@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 2 15:28:54 2021 +0200 cfg80211: Acquire wiphy mutex on regulatory work [ Upstream commit e08ebd6d7b90ae81f21425ca39136f5b2272580f ] The function cfg80211_reg_can_beacon_relax() expects wiphy mutex to be held when it is being called. However, when reg_leave_invalid_chans() is called the mutex is not held. Fix it by acquiring the lock before calling the function.
