Subject: [ 033/124] mwifiex: fix race when queuing commands
3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@...vell.com>
commit 00d7ea11ff0783e24fe70778f3141270b561aaa1 upstream.
Running the following script repeatedly on XO-4 with SD8787
produces command timeout and system lockup.
insmod mwifiex_sdio.ko
sleep 1
ifconfig eth0 up
iwlist eth0 scan &
sleep 0.5
rmmod mwifiex_sdio
mwifiex_send_cmd_async() is called for sync as well as async
commands. (mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() internally calls it for
sync command.)
"adapter->cmd_queued" gets filled inside mwifiex_send_cmd_async()
routine for both types of commands. But it is used only for sync
commands in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete(). This could lead to a
race when two threads try to queue a sync command with another
sync/async command simultaneously.
Get rid of global variable and pass command node as a parameter
to mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() to fix the problem.
