Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fix access to freed data on unload
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2010 21:37:24 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1264905444.10146.9.camel@mj> (raw)
Calling ath_bus_cleanup() after ieee80211_free_hw() resulted in access
to common->bus_ops, which is already freed as part of the device data.
Remove the cleanup field in struct ath_bus_ops, as it was never used
properly. Remove ath_bus_cleanup(). Merge cleanup functions in place
of the ath_bus_cleanup() calls. Take care not to use any device data
after ieee80211_free_hw().

The bug was causing a hang on a kernel with most debugging options
enabled. I think the fix is important and simple enough for stable
kernels. I wish I could make the patch smaller, but I didn't want to
leave unused and dangerous fields and functions.
ath9k was tested on the PCI bus. ath9k on AHB was compile tested.
ath5k and ar9170 use struct ath_bus_ops, but don't use the cleanup
field, so they are not affected.
