Subject: [PATCH 04/11] wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix deadlock in sta removal and suspend ROC abort
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 22:28:47 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120062854.126501-5-zac@zacbowling.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260120062854.126501-1-zac@zacbowling.com>
From: Zac Bowling <zac@zacbowling.com>
Fix deadlock scenarios in mt7921 ROC (Remain On Channel) abort paths:
1. Suspend path deadlock (pci.c, sdio.c):
- Previous fix (b74d48c46f) added mutex around mt7921_roc_abort_sync
- But roc_work acquires mutex, so cancel_work_sync can deadlock
- Fix: Remove mutex wrappers since mt7921_roc_abort_sync doesn't
actually need them (it only calls timer_delete_sync, cancel_work_sync,
and ieee80211_iterate_interfaces which handles its own locking)
2. sta_remove path deadlock:
- mt7921_mac_sta_remove is called from mt76_sta_remove which holds mutex
- Calling mt7921_roc_abort_sync → cancel_work_sync can deadlock if
roc_work is waiting for the mutex
- Fix: Add mt7921_roc_abort_async (matching mt7925 pattern) that sets
abort flag and schedules work instead of blocking
- Add abort flag checking in mt7921_roc_work to handle async abort
The fix mirrors the mt7925 implementation which already handles these
scenarios correctly.
Fixes: b74d48c46f ("wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix mutex handling in multiple paths")
