cfg80211: fix WARN_ON for re-association to the expired BSS
cfg80211 allows re-association in managed mode and if a user wants to re-associate to the same AP network after the time period of IEEE80211_SCAN_RESULT_EXPIRE, cfg80211 warns with the following message on receiving the connect result event. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 13984 at net/wireless/sme.c:658 __cfg80211_connect_result+0x3a6/0x3e0 [cfg80211]() Call Trace: [<ffffffff81747a41>] dump_stack+0x46/0x58 [<ffffffff81045847>] warn_slowpath_common+0x87/0xb0 [<ffffffff81045885>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x20 [<ffffffffa05345f6>] __cfg80211_connect_result+0x3a6/0x3e0 [cfg80211] [<ffffffff8107168b>] ? update_rq_clock+0x2b/0x50 [<ffffffff81078c01>] ? update_curr+0x1/0x160 [<ffffffffa05133d2>] cfg80211_process_wdev_events+0xb2/0x1c0 [cfg80211] [<ffffffff81079303>] ? pick_next_task_fair+0x63/0x170 [<ffffffffa0513518>] cfg80211_process_rdev_events+0x38/0x90 [cfg80211] [<ffffffffa050f03d>] cfg80211_event_work+0x1d/0x30 [cfg80211] [<ffffffff8105f21f>] process_one_work+0x17f/0x420 [<ffffffff8105f90a>] worker_thread+0x11a/0x370 [<ffffffff8105f7f0>] ? rescuer_thread+0x2f0/0x2f0 [<ffffffff8106638b>] kthread+0xbb/0xc0 [<ffffffff810662d0>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x120/0x120 [<ffffffff817574bc>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [<ffffffff810662d0>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x120/0x120 ---[ end trace 61f3bddc9c4981f7 ]--- The reason is that, in connect result event cfg80211 unholds the BSS to which the device is associated (and was held so far). So, for the event with status successful, when cfg80211 wants to get that BSS from the device's BSS list it gets a NULL BSS because the BSS has been expired and unheld already. Fix it by reshuffling the code. Signed-off-by: Ujjal Roy <royujjal@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
