Subject: [PATCH ath-next 3/4] wifi: ath12k: protect new_alpha2 access with base_lock
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:18:13 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729-ath12k-regd-wait-timeout-v1-3-504aa6e7e93c@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729-ath12k-regd-wait-timeout-v1-0-504aa6e7e93c@oss.qualcomm.com>

ab->new_alpha2 is written under ab->base_lock by the 11d new country
code event handler ath12k_reg_11d_new_cc_event() and by the SMBIOS
BDF parser, and read under the same lock by ath12k_update_11d().

ath12k_mac_hw_register() however read ab->new_alpha2 without holding
base_lock, racing with those writers. Take base_lock and copy the
value into a local wmi_set_current_country_arg, mirroring what
ath12k_update_11d() already does, and use the local copy afterwards.

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c7-00108-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ_UPSTREAM-3
