Subject: [PATCH] wifi: rsi_91x_usb: do not pause rfkill polling when stopping mac80211
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 09:36:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317093605.Horde.9WKqN4PAUyX4gAKkAiaQzv9@www.nummela.org> (raw)
Removing rsi_91x USB adapter could cause rtnetlink to lock up.
When rsi_mac80211_stop is called, wiphy_lock is locked. Call to
wiphy_rfkill_stop_polling would wait until the work queue has
finished, but because the work queue waits for wiphy_lock, that
would never happen.
Moving the call to rsi_disconnect avoids the lock up.
