Brian Norris b3e50e041b mwifiex: Fix possible ABBA deadlock
[ Upstream commit 1b8bb8919ef81bfc8873d223b9361f1685f2106d ]

Quoting Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@gmail.com>:

  mwifiex_dequeue_tx_packet()
     spin_lock_bh(&priv->wmm.ra_list_spinlock); --> Line 1432 (Lock A)
     mwifiex_send_addba()
       spin_lock_bh(&priv->sta_list_spinlock); --> Line 608 (Lock B)

  mwifiex_process_sta_tx_pause()
     spin_lock_bh(&priv->sta_list_spinlock); --> Line 398 (Lock B)
     mwifiex_update_ralist_tx_pause()
       spin_lock_bh(&priv->wmm.ra_list_spinlock); --> Line 941 (Lock A)

Similar report for mwifiex_process_uap_tx_pause().

While the locking expectations in this driver are a bit unclear, the
Fixed commit only intended to protect the sta_ptr, so we can drop the
lock as soon as we're done with it.

IIUC, this deadlock cannot actually happen, because command event
processing (which calls mwifiex_process_sta_tx_pause()) is
sequentialized with TX packet processing (e.g.,
mwifiex_dequeue_tx_packet()) via the main loop (mwifiex_main_process()).
But it's good not to leave this potential issue lurking.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
