Subject[PATCH 5.10 122/452] ath11k: acquire ab->base_lock in unassign when finding the peer by addr
Date
From: Niels Dossche <dossche.niels@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 2db80f93869d491be57cbc2b36f30d0d3a0e5bde ]

ath11k_peer_find_by_addr states via lockdep that ab->base_lock must be
held when calling that function in order to protect the list. All
callers except ath11k_mac_op_unassign_vif_chanctx have that lock
acquired when calling ath11k_peer_find_by_addr. That lock is also not
transitively held by a path towards ath11k_mac_op_unassign_vif_chanctx.
The solution is to acquire the lock when calling
ath11k_peer_find_by_addr inside ath11k_mac_op_unassign_vif_chanctx.

I am currently working on a static analyser to detect missing locks and
this was a reported case. I manually verified the report by looking at
the code, but I do not have real hardware so this is compile tested
only.
