wifi: mac80211: fortify the spinlock against deadlock by interrupt
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
In the function ieee80211_tx_dequeue() there is a particular locking
sequence:

begin:
	spin_lock(&local->queue_stop_reason_lock);
	q_stopped = local->queue_stop_reasons[q];
	spin_unlock(&local->queue_stop_reason_lock);

However small the chance (increased by ftracetest), an asynchronous
interrupt can occur in between of spin_lock() and spin_unlock(),
and the interrupt routine will attempt to lock the same
&local->queue_stop_reason_lock again.

This will cause a costly reset of the CPU and the wifi device or an
altogether hang in the single CPU and single core scenario.

The only remaining spin_lock(&local->queue_stop_reason_lock) that
did not disable interrupts was patched, which should prevent any
deadlocks on the same CPU/core and the same wifi device.

This is the probable trace of the deadlock:
