Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2022 12:10:44 +0200 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, stable@...r.kernel.org, Duoming Zhou <duoming@....edu.cn>, Sasha Levin <sashal@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH 5.4 371/411] drivers: staging: rtl8192e: Fix deadlock in rtllib_beacons_stop() From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@....edu.cn> [ Upstream commit 9b6bdbd9337de3917945847bde262a34a87a6303 ] There is a deadlock in rtllib_beacons_stop(), which is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) | rtllib_send_beacon() rtllib_beacons_stop() | mod_timer() spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | (wait a time) ... | rtllib_send_beacon_cb() del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irqsave() //(2) (wait timer to stop) | ... We hold ieee->beacon_lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler also need ieee->beacon_lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result, rtllib_beacons_stop() will block forever. This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of spin_lock_irqsave(), which could let timer handler to obtain the needed lock.
