Subject: [PATCH] mt76: hold RCU lock when calling ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr()
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2021 19:13:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210212021312.40486-1-skhan@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1cfa036227cfa9fdd04316c01e1d754f13a70d9e.1613090339.git.skhan@linuxfoundation.org>

ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() must be called under the RCU lock and
the resulting pointer is only valid under RCU lock as well.

Fix mt76_check_sta() to hold RCU read lock before it calls
ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() and release it when the resulting
pointer is no longer needed.

This problem was found while reviewing code to debug RCU warn from
ath10k_wmi_tlv_parse_peer_stats_info() and a subsequent manual audit
of other callers of ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() that don't hold
RCU read lock.
