From a63b09872c1dc0ce0da3628647da67a112b484bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Rafa=C5=82=20Mi=C5=82ecki?= Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2016 21:54:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: delete interface directly in code that sent fw request MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit So far when receiving event about in-firmware-interface removal our event worker was notifying listener and afterwards it was removing Linux interface. First of all it was resulting in slightly unexpected order. The listener (del_virtual_intf callback) was (usually) returning with success before we even called unregister_netdev(ice). Please note this couldn't be simply fixed by changing order of calls in brcmf_fweh_handle_if_event as unregistering interface earlier could free struct brcmf_if. Another problem of current implementation are possible lockups. Focus on the time slot between calling event handler and removing Linux interface. During that time original caller may leave (unlocking rtnl semaphore) *and* another call to the same code may be done (locking it again). If that happens our event handler will stuck at removing Linux interface, it won't handle another event and will block process holding rtnl lock. This can be simply solved by unregistering interface in a proper callback, right after receiving confirmation event from firmware. This only required modifying worker to don't unregister on its own if there is someone waiting for the event.
