4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ganapathi Bhat <gbhat@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b817047ae70c0bd67b677b65d0d69d72cd6e9728 ] Race condition is observed during rmmod of mwifiex_usb: 1. The rmmod thread will call mwifiex_usb_disconnect(), download SHUTDOWN command and do wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), waiting for response. 2. The main thread will handle the response and will do a wake_up_interruptible(), unblocking rmmod thread. 3. On getting unblocked, rmmod thread will make rx_cmd.urb = NULL in mwifiex_usb_free(). 4. The main thread will try to resubmit rx_cmd.urb in mwifiex_usb_submit_rx_urb(), which is NULL. To fix, wait for main thread to complete before calling mwifiex_usb_free().
