From 073e100877a39f36163398cde868e98fa6d3f0a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arik Nemtsov Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2012 23:32:32 +0300 Subject: mac80211: fix non RCU-safe sta_list manipulation commit 794454ce72a298de6f4536ade597bdcc7dcde7c7 upstream. sta_info_cleanup locks the sta_list using rcu_read_lock however the delete operation isn't rcu safe. A race between sta_info_cleanup timer being called and a STA being removed can occur which leads to a panic while traversing sta_list. Fix this by switching to the RCU-safe versions.
