Subject: [d-kernel] [PATCH 3/2] wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix potential deadlock in mt7921_roc_abort_sync
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:44:08 +0300
Message-ID: <20260611104408.227113-1-rauty@altlinux.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <'<20260610083910.23062-1-rauty@altlinux.org>'>
From: Sean Wang <sean.wang@mediatek.com>
roc_abort_sync() can deadlock with roc_work(). roc_work() holds
dev->mt76.mutex, while cancel_work_sync() waits for roc_work()
to finish. If the caller already owns the same mutex, both
sides block and no progress is possible.
This deadlock can occur during station removal when
mt76_sta_state() -> mt76_sta_remove() -> mt7921_mac_sta_remove() ->
mt7921_roc_abort_sync() invokes cancel_work_sync() while
roc_work() is still running and holding dev->mt76.mutex.
This avoids the mutex deadlock and preserves exactly-once
work ownership.

timer API rename is not present in 6.12.y. ]

Дополнение к ранее присланной серии из двух патчей.
Саша Левин на ревью запроса в stable@ указал, что patch 2/2 (5ed54896,
"fix a potential scan no APs") в одиночку вносит достижимый self-deadlock
по dev->mt76.mutex: путь удаления станции идёт под этим mutex (его берёт
ядровая mt76_sta_remove()), а добавленный там roc_abort_sync() делает
cancel_work_sync() по roc_work(), который тоже хочет этот mutex.
Этот коммит (d5059e52) — обязательное лечение, применять вместе с 2/2.
Таким образом серия теперь из трёх патчей.
