Subject: [PATCH rtw-next 3/3] wifi: rtw88: reset the stations outside of RCU on firmware recovery
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 22:32:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111213239.569224-4-mehmet.fide@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111213239.569224-1-mehmet.fide@gmail.com>

From: Mehmet Fide <mehmet.fide@screeningeagle.com>

The recovery after a firmware crash removes the driver state of every
station with rtw_sta_remove(), called from an atomic station iterator.
rtw_sta_remove() cancels the rate work of the station with
cancel_work_sync(), which can sleep. With a station associated:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/workqueue.c:4722
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 14, name: kworker/u16:1
RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0
Workqueue: phy35 rtw_fw_recovery_work [rtw88_core]
Call trace:
 __might_resched+0x13c/0x1f0
 __might_sleep+0x48/0x7c
 __cancel_work_sync+0xa8/0xb4
 cancel_work_sync+0x14/0x20
 rtw_sta_remove+0x34/0x10c [rtw88_core]
 rtw_reset_sta_iter+0x20/0x48 [rtw88_core]
 ieee80211_iterate_stations_atomic+0x80/0x144 [mac80211]
 rtw_fw_recovery_work+0x1dc/0x2b8 [rtw88_core]

Use rtw_iterate_stas(), which collects the stations under RCU and calls
the iterator after it. The recovery holds the driver mutex it asks for.
