mwifiex: Fix possible ABBA deadlock
[ Upstream commit 1b8bb8919ef81bfc8873d223b9361f1685f2106d ]
Quoting Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@gmail.com>:
mwifiex_dequeue_tx_packet()
spin_lock_bh(&priv->wmm.ra_list_spinlock); --> Line 1432 (Lock A)
mwifiex_send_addba()
spin_lock_bh(&priv->sta_list_spinlock); --> Line 608 (Lock B)
mwifiex_process_sta_tx_pause()
spin_lock_bh(&priv->sta_list_spinlock); --> Line 398 (Lock B)
mwifiex_update_ralist_tx_pause()
spin_lock_bh(&priv->wmm.ra_list_spinlock); --> Line 941 (Lock A)
Similar report for mwifiex_process_uap_tx_pause().
While the locking expectations in this driver are a bit unclear, the
Fixed commit only intended to protect the sta_ptr, so we can drop the
lock as soon as we're done with it.
IIUC, this deadlock cannot actually happen, because command event
processing (which calls mwifiex_process_sta_tx_pause()) is
sequentialized with TX packet processing (e.g.,
mwifiex_dequeue_tx_packet()) via the main loop (mwifiex_main_process()).
But it's good not to leave this potential issue lurking.
Fixes: f0f7c2275fb9 ("mwifiex: minor cleanups w/ sta_list_spinlock in cfg80211.c")
