From bf2b61a6838f19cbc33f6732715012c483fa3795 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dedy Lansky Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2018 13:05:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: fix rcu in cfg80211_unregister_wdev Callers of cfg80211_unregister_wdev can free the wdev object immediately after this function returns. This may crash the kernel because this wdev object is still in use by other threads. Add synchronize_rcu() after list_del_rcu to make sure wdev object can be safely freed.
