Fedor Pchelkin ff703b5f3f wifi: ath9k: fix races between ath9k_wmi_cmd and ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx
[ Upstream commit b674fb513e2e7a514fcde287c0f73915d393fdb6 ]

Currently, the synchronization between ath9k_wmi_cmd() and
ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx() is exposed to a race condition which, although being
rather unlikely, can lead to invalid behaviour of ath9k_wmi_cmd().

Consider the following scenario:

CPU0					CPU1

ath9k_wmi_cmd(...)
  mutex_lock(&wmi->op_mutex)
  ath9k_wmi_cmd_issue(...)
  wait_for_completion_timeout(...)
  ---
  timeout
  ---
					/* the callback is being processed
					 * before last_seq_id became zero
					 */
					ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx(...)
					  spin_lock_irqsave(...)
					  /* wmi->last_seq_id check here
					   * doesn't detect timeout yet
					   */
					  spin_unlock_irqrestore(...)
  /* last_seq_id is zeroed to
   * indicate there was a timeout
   */
  wmi->last_seq_id = 0
  mutex_unlock(&wmi->op_mutex)
  return -ETIMEDOUT

ath9k_wmi_cmd(...)
  mutex_lock(&wmi->op_mutex)
  /* the buffer is replaced with
   * another one
   */
  wmi->cmd_rsp_buf = rsp_buf
  wmi->cmd_rsp_len = rsp_len
  ath9k_wmi_cmd_issue(...)
    spin_lock_irqsave(...)
    spin_unlock_irqrestore(...)
  wait_for_completion_timeout(...)
					/* the continuation of the
					 * callback left after the first
					 * ath9k_wmi_cmd call
					 */
					  ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback(...)
					    /* copying data designated
					     * to already timeouted
					     * WMI command into an
					     * inappropriate wmi_cmd_buf
					     */
					    memcpy(...)
					    complete(&wmi->cmd_wait)
  /* awakened by the bogus callback
   * => invalid return result
   */
  mutex_unlock(&wmi->op_mutex)
  return 0

To fix this, update last_seq_id on timeout path inside ath9k_wmi_cmd()
under the wmi_lock. Move ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback() under wmi_lock inside
ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx() so that the wmi->cmd_wait can be completed only for
initially designated wmi_cmd call, otherwise the path would be rejected
with last_seq_id check.

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.
