[ Upstream commit b674fb513e2e7a514fcde287c0f73915d393fdb6 ]
Currently, the synchronization between ath9k_wmi_cmd() and ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx() is exposed to a race condition which, although being rather unlikely, can lead to invalid behaviour of ath9k_wmi_cmd().
Consider the following scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
ath9k_wmi_cmd(...) mutex_lock(&wmi->op_mutex) ath9k_wmi_cmd_issue(...) wait_for_completion_timeout(...) --- timeout --- /* the callback is being processed * before last_seq_id became zero */ ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx(...) spin_lock_irqsave(...) /* wmi->last_seq_id check here * doesn't detect timeout yet */ spin_unlock_irqrestore(...) /* last_seq_id is zeroed to * indicate there was a timeout */ wmi->last_seq_id = 0 mutex_unlock(&wmi->op_mutex) return -ETIMEDOUT
ath9k_wmi_cmd(...) mutex_lock(&wmi->op_mutex) /* the buffer is replaced with * another one */ wmi->cmd_rsp_buf = rsp_buf wmi->cmd_rsp_len = rsp_len ath9k_wmi_cmd_issue(...) spin_lock_irqsave(...) spin_unlock_irqrestore(...) wait_for_completion_timeout(...) /* the continuation of the * callback left after the first * ath9k_wmi_cmd call */ ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback(...) /* copying data designated * to already timeouted * WMI command into an * inappropriate wmi_cmd_buf */ memcpy(...) complete(&wmi->cmd_wait) /* awakened by the bogus callback * => invalid return result */ mutex_unlock(&wmi->op_mutex) return 0
To fix this, update last_seq_id on timeout path inside ath9k_wmi_cmd() under the wmi_lock. Move ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback() under wmi_lock inside ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx() so that the wmi->cmd_wait can be completed only for initially designated wmi_cmd call, otherwise the path would be rejected with last_seq_id check.
