Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: mvm: protect RCU dereference in iwl_mvm_get_key_sta_id
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 09:13:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449821632-8106-1-git-send-email-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <566A0929.2090706@redhat.com>

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Properly protect the RCU dereference in iwl_mvm_get_key_sta_id() when
coming from iwl_mvm_update_tkip_key() which cannot hold the mvm->mutex
by moving the call into the RCU critical section.
Modify the check to use rcu_dereference_check() to permit this.

Fixes: 9513c5e18a0d ("iwlwifi: mvm: Avoid dereferencing sta if it was already flushed")
