However, this call path is +not protected by rcu_read_lock() as it was previously entirely internal +to the driver which uses its own locking. + +This leads to a possible rcu_dereference() without holding +rcu_read_lock(); but only if a station is cleaned up while having +packets queued on the TXQ. Fix this by adding the rcu_read_lock() to the +caller in ath9k. + +Fixes: 50f08edf9809 ("ath9k: Switch to using mac80211 intermediate software queues.") +Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org +Reported-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> +Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> +--- + +--- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c ++++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c +@@ -2930,6 +2930,8 @@ void ath_tx_node_cleanup(struct ath_soft + struct ath_txq *txq; + int tidno; + ++ rcu_read_lock(); ++ + for (tidno = 0; tidno < IEEE80211_NUM_TIDS; tidno++) { + tid = ath_node_to_tid(an, tidno); + txq = tid->txq; +@@ -2947,6 +2949,8 @@ void ath_tx_node_cleanup(struct ath_soft + if (!an->sta) + break; /* just one multicast ath_atx_tid */ + } ++ ++ rcu_read_unlock(); + } + + #ifdef CPTCFG_ATH9K_TX99 |
