The listener +(del_virtual_intf callback) was (usually) returning with success before +we even called unregister_netdev(ice). + +Please note this couldn't be simply fixed by changing order of calls in +brcmf_fweh_handle_if_event as unregistering interface earlier could free +struct brcmf_if. + +Another problem of current implementation are possible lockups. Focus on +the time slot between calling event handler and removing Linux +interface. During that time original caller may leave (unlocking rtnl +semaphore) *and* another call to the same code may be done (locking it +again). If that happens our event handler will stuck at removing Linux +interface, it won't handle another event and will block process holding +rtnl lock. + +This can be simply solved by unregistering interface in a proper +callback, right after receiving confirmation event from firmware. This +only required modifying worker to don't unregister on its own if there +is someone waiting for the event. + +Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com> +Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org> +--- + +--- a/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/fweh.c ++++ b/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/fweh.c +@@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ + #include "brcmu_wifi.h" + #include "brcmu_utils.h" + ++#include "cfg80211.h" + #include "core.h" + #include "debug.h" + #include "tracepoint.h" +@@ -182,8 +183,13 @@ static void brcmf_fweh_handle_if_event(s + + err = brcmf_fweh_call_event_handler(ifp, emsg->event_code, emsg, data); + +- if (ifp && ifevent->action == BRCMF_E_IF_DEL) +- brcmf_remove_interface(ifp, false); ++ if (ifp && ifevent->action == BRCMF_E_IF_DEL) { ++ bool armed = brcmf_cfg80211_vif_event_armed(drvr->config); ++ ++ /* Default handling in case no-one waits for this event */ ++ if (!armed) ++ brcmf_remove_interface(ifp, false); ++ } + } + + /** +--- a/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/p2p.c ++++ b/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/p2p.c +@@ -2290,8 +2290,7 @@ int brcmf_p2p_del_vif(struct wiphy *wiph + else + err = 0; + } +- if (err) +- brcmf_remove_interface(vif->ifp, true); ++ brcmf_remove_interface(vif->ifp, true); + + brcmf_cfg80211_arm_vif_event(cfg, NULL); + if (vif->wdev.iftype != NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_DEVICE) |
