Subject: [PATCH] wifi: iwlwifi: ptp: Fix potential race condition in PTP removal
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 00:15:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260115161529.85720-1-junjie.cao@intel.com> (raw)
iwl_mvm_ptp_remove() and iwl_mld_ptp_remove() call
cancel_delayed_work_sync() only after ptp_clock_unregister() and after
partially clearing ptp_data state.
This creates a race where the delayed work (iwl_mvm_ptp_work /
iwl_mld_ptp_work) can run while teardown is in progress and observe a
partially modified PTP state. In addition, the work may re-arm itself,
extending the teardown window and risking execution after driver
resources have been released.
Move cancel_delayed_work_sync() before ptp_clock_unregister() to ensure
the delayed work is fully stopped before any PTP cleanup begins. This
follows the standard pattern used by other Intel PTP drivers such as
e1000e, igb, ixgbe, and ice.
Fixes: d1e879ec600f ("wifi: iwlwifi: add iwlmld sub-driver")
Fixes: 1595ecce1cf3 ("wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: add support for PTP HW clock (PHC)")
