[PATCH 4.9 19/35] ath10k: fix use-after-free in ath10k_wmi_cmd_send_nowait

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 11 2018 - 11:43:23 EST


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

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

From: Carl Huang <cjhuang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9ef0f58ed7b4a55da4a64641d538e0d9e46579ac upstream.

The skb may be freed in tx completion context before
trace_ath10k_wmi_cmd is called. This can be easily captured when
KASAN(Kernel Address Sanitizer) is enabled. The fix is to move
trace_ath10k_wmi_cmd before the send operation. As the ret has no
meaning in trace_ath10k_wmi_cmd then, so remove this parameter too.
