X-Git-Tag: v4.11-rc1~124^2~152^2^2~2 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=735a0045f9ea8372bcf3e599cbd3aa891a216b26;p=karo-tx-linux.git iwlwifi: mvm: avoid race condition in ADD_STA. The race happens when we send ADD_STA(auth->assoc) -> LQ_CMD between the commands the FW sometimes loses the medium for AUX, and sends a ndp to the AP and the flow becomes, ADD_STA -> send ndp -> LQ_CMD the problem is that there's no rates yet defined for sending the ndp and FW generates an assert. The fix: change the order of the commands to LQ_CMD -> ADD_STA Signed-off-by: Mordechay Goodstein Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho --- diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/mac80211.c b/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/mac80211.c index 7253b92792bf..d37b1695c64e 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/mac80211.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/mac80211.c @@ -2627,11 +2627,10 @@ static int iwl_mvm_mac_sta_state(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, mvmvif->ap_assoc_sta_count++; iwl_mvm_mac_ctxt_changed(mvm, vif, false, NULL); } + + iwl_mvm_rs_rate_init(mvm, sta, mvmvif->phy_ctxt->channel->band, + true); ret = iwl_mvm_update_sta(mvm, vif, sta); - if (ret == 0) - iwl_mvm_rs_rate_init(mvm, sta, - mvmvif->phy_ctxt->channel->band, - true); } else if (old_state == IEEE80211_STA_ASSOC && new_state == IEEE80211_STA_AUTHORIZED) {
