Subject: [PATCH net] wifi: mt76: sdio: Fix possible data race when dequeuing skb
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 16:35:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803143510.49558-2-fourier.thomas@gmail.com> (raw)
The next entry of the queue is saved as a refenrence and immediately
removed from the list, before processing the skb. It can thus be
overwritten by the queuing function at the same time as .rx_skb() is
called.
Split mt76s_get_next_rx_entry() to get the tail, and once it is
processed, pop the element.
This patch was compile-tested only.
This patch depends on commit 16254fc51f7d ("mt76: sdio: fix use of q->head and q->tail").
Fixes: d39b52e31aa6 ("mt76: introduce mt76_sdio module")
