Subject: [PATCH rtw v2 2/4] wifi: rtw89: fix tx_wait initialization race
Now that nullfunc skbs are recycled in a separate work item in the driver,
the following race during initialization and processing of those skbs
might lead to noticeable bugs:
Waiting thread Completing thread
rtw89_core_send_nullfunc()
rtw89_core_tx_write_link()
...
rtw89_pci_txwd_submit()
skb_data->wait = NULL
/* add skb to the queue */
skb_queue_tail(&txwd->queue, skb)
rtw89_pci_napi_poll()
...
rtw89_pci_release_txwd_skb()
/* get skb from the queue */
skb_unlink(skb, &txwd->queue)
rtw89_pci_tx_status()
rtw89_core_tx_wait_complete()
/* use incorrect skb_data->wait */
rtw89_core_tx_kick_off_and_wait()
/* assign skb_data->wait but too late */
The value of skb_data->wait indicates whether skb is passed on to the
core ieee80211 stack or released by the driver itself. So assure that by
the time skb is added to txwd queue and becomes visible to the completing
side, it has already allocated tx_wait-related data (in case it's needed).
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).
