Subject: [bug report] cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the driver
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 12:07:54 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YA6KarkWBBT78rgd@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Johannes Berg,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 791daf8fc49a: "cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when
calling the driver" from Jan 19, 2021, leads to the following Smatch
complaint:
net/wireless/nl80211.c:3242 nl80211_set_wiphy()
error: we previously assumed 'rdev' could be null (see line 3222)
net/wireless/nl80211.c
3221
3222 if (rdev)
^^^^
The patch adds a NULL dereference
3223 mutex_lock(&rdev->wiphy.mtx);
3224 rtnl_unlock();
3225
3226 /*
3227 * end workaround code, by now the rdev is available
3228 * and locked, and wdev may or may not be NULL.
3229 */
3230
3231 if (info->attrs[NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_NAME])
3232 result = cfg80211_dev_rename(
3233 rdev, nla_data(info->attrs[NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_NAME]));
3234
3235 if (result)
3236 goto out;
3237
3238 if (info->attrs[NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_TXQ_PARAMS]) {
3239 struct ieee80211_txq_params txq_params;
3240 struct nlattr *tb[NL80211_TXQ_ATTR_MAX + 1];
3241
3242 if (!rdev->ops->set_txq_params) {
^^^^^^
But it's not checked here.
3243 result = -EOPNOTSUPP;
3244 goto out;
regards,
dan carpenter
