This makes it possible for ieee80211_scan_complete to be called twice in some scenarios, as the scan completion event from the firmware may be processed while the mutex is unlocked. To fix the issue, move the ieee80211_scan_complete call last in the function. This is generally safer, but there still may be issues is functions calling the scan state machine rely on states checked before the unlocking of the global mutex. (forward ported from 2.6.32 -- this is not strictly needed anymore, because the mutex doesn't need to be unlocked anymore, but I'm applying this change anyway, so that the call to ieee80211_scan_complete is in the same place) Signed-off-by: Juuso Oikarinen Reviewed-by: Saravanan Dhanabal Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho --- diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_main.c b/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_main.c index 45d4ce36343c..02ad6c648115 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_main.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_main.c @@ -1015,10 +1015,10 @@ static void wl1271_op_remove_interface(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, ieee80211_enable_dyn_ps(wl->vif); if (wl->scan.state != WL1271_SCAN_STATE_IDLE) { - ieee80211_scan_completed(wl->hw, true); wl->scan.state = WL1271_SCAN_STATE_IDLE; kfree(wl->scan.scanned_ch); wl->scan.scanned_ch = NULL; + ieee80211_scan_completed(wl->hw, true); } wl->state = WL1271_STATE_OFF; diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_scan.c b/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_scan.c index 9c80ba9b6be0..8ceaabe26e64 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_scan.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_scan.c @@ -215,12 +215,11 @@ void wl1271_scan_stm(struct wl1271 *wl) break; case WL1271_SCAN_STATE_DONE: - ieee80211_scan_completed(wl->hw, false); - kfree(wl->scan.scanned_ch); wl->scan.scanned_ch = NULL; wl->scan.state = WL1271_SCAN_STATE_IDLE; + ieee80211_scan_completed(wl->hw, false); break; default:
