Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 02/24] mwifiex: add mutex lock for call in mwifiex_dfs_chan_sw_work_queue
Date: Mon, 30 May 2022 09:51:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220530135211.1937674-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220530135211.1937674-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Niels Dossche <dossche.niels@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 3e12968f6d12a34b540c39cbd696a760cc4616f0 ]

cfg80211_ch_switch_notify uses ASSERT_WDEV_LOCK to assert that
net_device->ieee80211_ptr->mtx (which is the same as priv->wdev.mtx)
is held during the function's execution.
mwifiex_dfs_chan_sw_work_queue is one of its callers, which does not
hold that lock, therefore violating the assertion.
Add a lock around the call.

Disclaimer:
I am currently working on a static analyser to detect missing locks.
This was a reported case. I manually verified the report by looking
at the code, so that I do not send wrong information or patches.
After concluding that this seems to be a true positive, I created
this patch.
However, as I do not in fact have this particular hardware,
I was unable to test it.
