[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 162/218] mac80211: fix txq queue related crashes

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

 



4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2a58d42c1e018ad514d4e23fd33fb2ded95d3ee6 upstream.

The driver can access the queue simultanously
while mac80211 tears down the interface. Without
spinlock protection this could lead to corrupting
sk_buff_head and subsequently to an invalid
pointer dereference.

Fixes: ba8c3d6f16a1 ("mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation")
