[PATCH v2 2/2] wifi: ath11k: fix dfs radar event locking

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

 



The ath11k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the DFS radar event
handling code calling ath11k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_id() was not marked as a
read-side critical section.

Mark the code in question as an RCU read-side critical section to avoid
any potential use-after-free issues.
