[PATCH] mt76: hold RCU lock when calling ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr()
From: Shuah Khan
Date: Thu Feb 11 2021 - 21:14:16 EST
ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() must be called under the RCU lock and
the resulting pointer is only valid under RCU lock as well.
Fix mt76_check_sta() to hold RCU read lock before it calls
ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() and release it when the resulting
pointer is no longer needed.
This problem was found while reviewing code to debug RCU warn from
ath10k_wmi_tlv_parse_peer_stats_info() and a subsequent manual audit
of other callers of ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() that don't hold
RCU read lock.
