From 210787e82a0ac1ffb5d7be1c796f0c51050849ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislaw Gruszka Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2012 13:16:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] iwl3945: fix possible il->txq NULL pointer dereference in delayed works On il3945_down procedure we free tx queue data and nullify il->txq pointer. After that we drop mutex and then cancel delayed works. There is possibility, that after drooping mutex and before the cancel, some delayed work will start and crash while trying to send commands to the device. For example, here is reported crash in il3945_bg_reg_txpower_periodic(): https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42766#c10 Patch fix problem by adding il->txq check on works that send commands, hence utilize tx queue.

That can be easily reproduced with modified tx queue entry_num to some small value e.g. 16. If mac80211 already hold local->queue_stop_reason_lock, then we can wait on that lock in both rt2x00queue_pause_queue() and rt2x00queue_unpause_queue(). After drooping ->queue_stop_reason_lock is possible that __ieee80211_wake_queue() will be performed before __ieee80211_stop_queue(), hence we stop queue and newer wake up it again. Another race condition is possible when between rt2x00queue_threshold() check and rt2x00queue_pause_queue() we will process all pending tx buffers on different cpu. This might happen if for example interrupt will be triggered on cpu performing rt2x00mac_tx(). To prevent race conditions serialize pause/unpause by queue->tx_lock.
