Subject: [PATCH 17/19] wifi: mt76: mt7925: switch link STA allocation to RCU lifetime
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 17:22:36 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306232238.2039675-18-sean.wang@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306232238.2039675-1-sean.wang@kernel.org>
From: Sean Wang <sean.wang@mediatek.com>
Allocate mt792x_link_sta with kzalloc() and free it with kfree_rcu()
instead of devm-managed memory.
msta->link[] is published via RCU, so the link STA must remain valid
until readers have quiesced after teardown. Manage the object lifetime
with kfree_rcu() to match its RCU-visible publication.
