Subject: brcmfmac: fix waitqueue_active without memory barrier in brcmfmac driver
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a7decc44a002dffe7ee6e361ddc703b8c3035d2c;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

brcmfmac: fix waitqueue_active without memory barrier in brcmfmac driver

brcmf_msgbuf_ioctl_resp_wake() seems to be missing a memory barrier
which might cause the waker to not notice the waiter and miss sending a
wake_up as in the following figure.

  brcmf_msgbuf_ioctl_resp_wake		    brcmf_msgbuf_ioctl_resp_wait
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (waitqueue_active(&msgbuf->ioctl_resp_wait))
/* The CPU might reorder the test for
   the waitqueue up here, before
   prior writes complete */
   	   	     	 	       /* wait_event_timeout */
				        /* __wait_event_timeout */
					 /* ___wait_event */
					 prepare_to_wait_event(&wq, &__wait,
					   state);
					 if (msgbuf->ctl_completed)
					 ...
msgbuf->ctl_completed = true;
					 schedule_timeout(__ret))
------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are three other place in drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/
which have similar code.  The attached patch removes the call to
waitqueue_active() leaving just wake_up() behind.  This fixes the
problem because the call to spin_lock_irqsave() in wake_up() will be an
ACQUIRE operation.

I found this issue when I was looking through the linux source code
for places calling waitqueue_active() before wake_up*(), but without
preceding memory barriers, after sending a patch to fix a similar
issue in drivers/tty/n_tty.c  (Details about the original issue can be
found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/28/849).
