Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] ath10k: Fix bug reported by lockdep
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:47:00 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1416896220-29691-3-git-send-email-sujith@msujith.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1416896220-29691-1-git-send-email-sujith@msujith.org>

From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com>

ath10k_tx_wep_key_work() acquires conf_mutex, so
cancelling it when conf_mutex is already taken
in ath10k_remove_interface() is incorrect, so
move it outside the lock.

Snippet from the lockdep report:

kernel: ======================================================
kernel: [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
kernel: 3.18.0-rc5-wl-debug #34 Tainted: G           O
kernel: -------------------------------------------------------
kernel: hostapd/451 is trying to acquire lock:
kernel:  ((&arvif->wep_key_work)){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff810872d5>] flush_work+0x5/0x290
kernel: but task is already holding lock:
kernel:  (&ar->conf_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa0b99f00>] ath10k_remove_interface+0x40/0x290 [ath10k_core]
kernel: which lock already depends on the new lock.
