[PATCH 3.19 43/75] iwlwifi: mvm: BT Coex - fix a NULL pointer exception

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Apr 10 2015 - 09:27:25 EST


3.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 4cd4b50cc2429294c23a1998c33fdfd804db0f37 upstream.

The commit below introduced an unsafe dereference of
mvmvif->phy_ctxt. It can be NULL even if we hold the mutex.
We can be handling a BT Coex notification while the vif has
already been unassigned. This can happen since the BT Coex
notification is hanled asynchronuously: we can have started
to handle the BT Coex notification trying to acquire the
mutex while the unassign flow already got it. The BT Coex
notification handling will wait for the mutext. I'll get it
later, but then mvmvif->phy_ctxt will be NULL.

Panic log:
