Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: lock rate control
|
|
|
|
Both minstrel (reported by Sven Eckelmann) and the iwlwifi rate
|
|
control aren't properly taking concurrency into account. It's
|
|
likely that the same is true for other rate control algorithms.
|
|
|
|
In the case of minstrel this manifests itself in crashes when an
|
|
update and other data access are run concurrently, for example
|
|
when the stations change bandwidth or similar. In iwlwifi, this
|
|
can cause firmware crashes.
|
|
|
|
Since fixing all rate control algorithms will be very difficult,
|
|
just provide locking for invocations. This protects the internal
|
|
data structures the algorithms maintain.
|
|
|
|
I've manipulated hostapd to test this, by having it change its
|
|
advertised bandwidth roughly ever 150ms. At the same time, I'm
|
|
running a flood ping between the client and the AP, which causes
|
|
this race of update vs. get_rate/status to easily happen on the
|
|
client. With this change, the system survives this test.
