From 58ebacc66bd11be2327edcefc79de94bd6f5bb4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2011 14:28:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: fix bug on regulatory core exit on access to last_request Commit 4d9d88d1 by Scott James Remnant added the .uevent() callback for the regulatory device used during the platform device registration. The change was done to account for queuing up udev change requests through udevadm triggers. The change also meant that upon regulatory core exit we will now send a uevent() but the uevent() callback, reg_device_uevent(), also accessed last_request. Right before commiting device suicide we free'd last_request but never set it to NULL so platform_device_unregister() would lead to bogus kernel paging request. Fix this and also simply supress uevents right before we commit suicide as they are pointless. This fix is required for kernels >= v2.6.39 $ git describe --contains 4d9d88d1 v2.6.39-rc1~468^2~25^2^2~21 The impact of not having this present is that a bogus paging access may occur (only read) upon cfg80211 unload time. You may also get this BUG complaint below. Although Johannes could not reproduce the issue this fix is theoretically correct. mac80211_hwsim: unregister radios mac80211_hwsim: closing netlink BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88001a06b5ab IP: [] reg_device_uevent+0x1a/0x50 [cfg80211] PGD 1836063 PUD 183a063 PMD 1ffcb067 PTE 1a06b160 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC CPU 0 Modules linked in: cfg80211(-) [last unloaded: mac80211] Pid: 2279, comm: rmmod Tainted: G W 3.1.0-wl+ #663 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[] [] reg_device_uevent+0x1a/0x50 [cfg80211] RSP: 0000:ffff88001c5f9d58 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88001d2eda88 RCX: ffff88001c7468fc RDX: ffff88001a06b5a0 RSI: ffff88001c7467b0 RDI: ffff88001c7467b0 RBP: ffff88001c5f9d58 R08: 000000000000ffff R09: 000000000000ffff R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: ffff88001c7467b0 R13: ffff88001d2eda78 R14: ffffffff8164a840 R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007f8a91d8a6e0(0000) GS:ffff88001fc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: ffff88001a06b5ab CR3: 000000001c62e000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process rmmod (pid: 2279, threadinfo ffff88001c5f8000, task ffff88000023c780) Stack: ffff88001c5f9d98 ffffffff812ff7e5 ffffffff8176ab3d ffff88001c7468c2 000000000000ffff ffff88001d2eda88 ffff88001c7467b0 ffff880000114820 ffff88001c5f9e38 ffffffff81241dc7 ffff88001c5f9db8 ffffffff81040189 Call Trace: [] dev_uevent+0xc5/0x170 [] kobject_uevent_env+0x1f7/0x490 [] ? sub_preempt_count+0x29/0x60 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x4a/0x90 [] ? devres_release_all+0x27/0x60 [] kobject_uevent+0xb/0x10 [] device_del+0x157/0x1b0 [] platform_device_del+0x1d/0x90 [] platform_device_unregister+0x16/0x30 [] regulatory_exit+0x5d/0x180 [cfg80211] [] cfg80211_exit+0x2b/0x45 [cfg80211] [] sys_delete_module+0x16c/0x220 [] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x7e/0x120 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: RIP [] reg_device_uevent+0x1a/0x50 [cfg80211] RSP CR2: ffff88001a06b5ab ---[ end trace 147c5099a411e8c0 ]--- Reported-by: Johannes Berg Cc: Scott James Remnant Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.
