linux-toradex.git/net/mac80211, branch v3.2.47 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules mac80211: close AP_VLAN interfaces before unregistering all 2013-06-19T01:16:39+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2013-05-23T23:06:09+00:00 c0f02bada67863c524e69190d4dbee5d9b7307af commit c8aa22db0112f640ac6631347f850879c621840b upstream. Since Eric's commit efe117ab8 ("Speedup ieee80211_remove_interfaces") there's a bug in mac80211 when it unregisters with AP_VLAN interfaces up. If the AP_VLAN interface was registered after the AP it belongs to (which is the typical case) and then we get into this code path, unregister_netdevice_many() will crash because it isn't prepared to deal with interfaces being closed in the middle of it. Exactly this happens though, because we iterate the list, find the AP master this AP_VLAN belongs to and dev_close() the dependent VLANs. After this, unregister_netdevice_many() won't pick up the fact that the AP_VLAN is already down and will do it again, causing a crash.

Since Eric's commit efe117ab8 ("Speedup ieee80211_remove_interfaces")
there's a bug in mac80211 when it unregisters with AP_VLAN interfaces
up. If the AP_VLAN interface was registered after the AP it belongs
to (which is the typical case) and then we get into this code path,
unregister_netdevice_many() will crash because it isn't prepared to
deal with interfaces being closed in the middle of it. Exactly this
happens though, because we iterate the list, find the AP master this
AP_VLAN belongs to and dev_close() the dependent VLANs. After this,
unregister_netdevice_many() won't pick up the fact that the AP_VLAN
is already down and will do it again, causing a crash.

mac80211: use del_timer_sync for final sta cleanup timer deletion 2013-02-06T04:33:19+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2012-12-13T22:08:52+00:00 ac2c39824efafedca3fe02f429443cbfcd44cbaa commit a56f992cdabc63f56b4b142885deebebf936ff76 upstream. This is a very old bug, but there's nothing that prevents the timer from running while the module is being removed when we only do del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync(). The timer should normally not be running at this point, but it's not clearly impossible (or we could just remove this.)

Otherwise, the configured BSS will not be found and removed properly. To make it more clear for the future, rename sdata->u.ibss to the local pointer ifibss which is used within the checks.
