[PATCH] wifi: cfg80211: fix WARN_ON during CAC cancelling

[Aditya Kumar Singh <quic_adisi@quicinc.com>]

In cfg80211_cac_event(), there’s a check to ensure that for MLO, the
link_id argument passed must be a valid link_id in the wdev. The various
callers of this function (during MLO) are -
 * ieee80211_stop_ap()
 * ieee80211_link_stop()
 * ieee80211_dfs_cac_timer_work()
 * ieee80211_dfs_cac_cancel()

Now, in ieee80211_stop_ap() the wdev->valid_links is still having the link
ID which is being stopped. ieee80211_dfs_cac_timer_work() is triggered
after CAC time and the link ID is still valid in wdev->valid_links.
Similarly in ieee80211_dfs_cac_cancel() as well, the link ID is valid in
wdev->valid_links.

However, during the link stop via ieee80211_link_stop() flow, when this
function is called, the link_id is removed from the bitmap, triggering the
WARN_ON. The flow during the stop link is -

nl80211_remove_link
  > cfg80211_remove_link
    > ieee80211_del_intf_link
      > ieee80211_vif_set_links
        > ieee80211_vif_update_links
          > ieee80211_link_stop
            > cfg80211_cac_event

In cfg80211_remove_link(), the link_id is removed from the valid_links
bitmap before ieee80211_del_intf_link() is called. Consequently, in
cfg80211_cac_event(), the WARN_ON is triggered.

Since having link_id set in valid_links is not a necessary condition now,
remove the check.
