charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit reg_check_chans_work() holds rtnl_mutex for the entire duration of iterating over all registered devices and calling cfg80211_leave() on each invalid wdev. cfg80211_leave() can be slow (disconnect, stop AP, leave mesh), causing rtnl_mutex starvation when many wireless interfaces are present. This results in tasks waiting for rtnl_mutex for longer than hung_task_timeout_secs: INFO: task hung in inet_rtm_newaddr INFO: task hung in inet6_rtm_newaddr INFO: task hung in nsim_destroy INFO: task hung in tun_chr_close INFO: task hung in switchdev_deferred_process_work Fix by taking a snapshot of cfg80211_rdev_list under RCU, holding a device reference (get_device/put_device) to prevent freeing, then acquiring rtnl per-device so other rtnl waiters get a chance to run between devices. After acquiring rtnl, wiphy.registered is checked to skip any device that was unregistered in the meantime.
