From f89f6c3ebf69623b8ea48200bd690e9e210335a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duoming Zhou Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2022 14:18:35 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] drivers: staging: rtl8723bs: Fix deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback() [ Upstream commit cc7ad0d77b51c872d629bcd98aea463a3c4109e7 ] There is a deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback(), which is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) | _set_timer() rtw_surveydone_event_callback()| mod_timer() spin_lock_bh() //(1) | (wait a time) ... | rtw_scan_timeout_handler() del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_bh() //(2) (wait timer to stop) | ... We hold pmlmepriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler also need pmlmepriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result, rtw_surveydone_event_callback() will block forever. This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of spin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtain the needed lock. What`s more, we change spin_lock_bh() in rtw_scan_timeout_handler() to spin_lock_irq(). Otherwise, spin_lock_bh() will also cause deadlock() in timer handler.
