From 1ebebea8e844d01c80b93b8ee4d696ee7c0cbc27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:47:15 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Fix race between ieee80211_rx_bss_put and lookup routines. The put routine first decrements the users counter and then (if it is zero) locks the sta_bss_lock and removes one from the list and the hash. Thus, any of ieee80211_sta_config_auth, ieee80211_rx_bss_get or ieee80211_rx_mesh_bss_get can race with it by finding a bss that is about to get kfree-ed. Using atomic_dec_and_lock in ieee80211_rx_bss_put takes care of this race. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: John W.
