[PATCH 4.18 024/150] mac80211_hwsim: fix locking when iterating radios during ns exit

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

 



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

------------------

[ Upstream commit 628980e5c8f038f730582c6ee50b7410741cd96e ]

The cleanup of radios during namespace exit has recently been reworked
to directly delete a radio while temporarily releasing the spinlock,
fixing a race condition between the work-queue execution and namespace
exits. However, the temporary unlock allows unsafe modifications on the
iterated list, resulting in a potential crash when continuing the
iteration of additional radios.

Move radios about to destroy to a temporary list, and clean that up
after releasing the spinlock once iteration is complete.
