From: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.94 commit b87034d7a2a85267d13d1306841feacca0e4d8b0 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I531X9 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ 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.
