[PATCH 5.15 080/177] mac80211: agg-tx: dont schedule_and_wake_txq() under sta->lock

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 06c41bda0ea14aa7fba932a9613c4ee239682cf0 ]

When we call ieee80211_agg_start_txq(), that will in turn call
schedule_and_wake_txq(). Called from ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb()
this is done under sta->lock, which leads to certain circular
lock dependencies, as reported by Chris Murphy:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAJCQCtSXJ5qA4bqSPY=oLRMbv-irihVvP7A2uGutEbXQVkoNaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In general, ieee80211_agg_start_txq() is usually not called
with sta->lock held, only in this one place. But it's always
called with sta->ampdu_mlme.mtx held, and that's therefore
clearly sufficient.

Change ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb() to also call it without the
sta->lock held, by factoring it out of ieee80211_remove_tid_tx()
(which is only called in this one place).

This breaks the locking chain and makes it less likely that
we'll have similar locking chain problems in the future.
