Subject: wifi: ath11k: fix temperature event locking
From: Johan Hovold <johan+linaro@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1a5352a81b4720ba43d9c899974e3bddf7ce0ce8 upstream.
The ath11k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the temperature event
handling code calling ath11k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_id() was not marked as a
read-side critical section as reported by RCU lockdep:
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
6.6.0-rc6 #7 Not tainted
-----------------------------
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:638 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by swapper/0/0.
...
Call trace:
...
lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x16c/0x22c
ath11k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_id+0x194/0x1b0 [ath11k]

ath11k_htc_rx_completion_handler+0x388/0x510 [ath11k]
Mark the code in question as an RCU read-side critical section to avoid
any potential use-after-free issues.
