wifi: ath11k: use work queue to process beacon tx event
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit 3a415da ("wifi: ath11k: add P2P IE in beacon template")
from Feb 28, 2024 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static
checker warning:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/wmi.c:1742 ath11k_wmi_p2p_go_bcn_ie()
warn: sleeping in atomic context

The reason is that ath11k_bcn_tx_status_event() will directly call might
sleep function ath11k_wmi_cmd_send() during RCU read-side critical
sections. The call trace is like:

ath11k_bcn_tx_status_event()
-> rcu_read_lock()
-> ath11k_mac_bcn_tx_event()
	-> ath11k_mac_setup_bcn_tmpl()
	……
		-> ath11k_wmi_bcn_tmpl()
			-> ath11k_wmi_cmd_send()
-> rcu_read_unlock()

Commit 886433a ("ath11k: add support for BSS color change") added the
ath11k_mac_bcn_tx_event(), commit 01e782c ("ath11k: fix warning
of RCU usage for ath11k_mac_get_arvif_by_vdev_id()") added the RCU lock
to avoid warning but also introduced this BUG.

Use work queue to avoid directly calling ath11k_mac_bcn_tx_event()
during RCU critical sections. No need to worry about the deletion of vif
because cancel_work_sync() will drop the work if it doesn't start or
block vif deletion until the running work is done.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.30
