wifi: mac80211: fix general-protection-fault in ieee80211_subif_start_xmit()
[ Upstream commit 780854186946e0de2be192ee7fa5125666533b3a ]
When device is running and the interface status is changed, the gpf issue
is triggered. The problem triggering process is as follows:
Thread A: Thread B
ieee80211_runtime_change_iftype() process_one_work()
... ...
ieee80211_do_stop() ...
... ...
sdata->bss = NULL ...
... ieee80211_subif_start_xmit()
ieee80211_multicast_to_unicast
//!sdata->bss->multicast_to_unicast
cause gpf issue
When the interface status is changed, the sending queue continues to send
packets. After the bss is set to NULL, the bss is accessed. As a result,
this causes a general-protection-fault issue.
The following is the stack information:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
