4 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: Fix race condition with struct
7 A crash happens when running the traffic with multiple clients:
9 Crash Signature : Unable to handle kernel paging request at
10 virtual address ffffffd700970918 During the crash, PC points to
11 "ieee80211_tx_rate_update+0x30/0x68 [mac80211]"
12 LR points to "ath11k_dp_htt_htc_t2h_msg_handler+0x5a8/0x8a0 [ath11k]".
14 Struct ppdu_stats_info is allocated and accessed from event callback via copy
15 engine tasklet, this has a problem when freeing it from ath11k_mac_op_stop().
17 Use data_lock during entire ath11k_dp_htt_get_ppdu_desc() call to protect
18 struct htt_ppdu_stats_info access and to avoid race condition when accessing it
19 from ath11k_mac_op_stop().
