Subject: [PATCH 0/2] wifi: ath11k: use RCU when accessing struct inet6_dev::ac_list

From: Kalle Valo <[email protected]>

Fix a recently introduced sparse warning in ath11k_mac_op_ipv6_changed() and
switch to use list_for_each_entry() in the same function. My plan is to get
first patch to wireless tree and the second patch ath-next (once the first
patch is there).

Please review.

Kalle Valo (2):
wifi: ath11k: use RCU when accessing struct inet6_dev::ac_list
wifi: ath11k: ath11k_mac_op_ipv6_changed(): use list_for_each_entry()

From: Kalle Valo <[email protected]>

Simplify the loop by using list_for_each_entry(). No functional changes.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] wifi: ath11k: use RCU when accessing struct inet6_dev::ac_list

From: Kalle Valo <[email protected]>

Commit c3718936ec47 ("ipv6: anycast: complete RCU handling of struct
ifacaddr6") converted struct inet6_dev::ac_list to use RCU but missed that
ath11k also accesses this list. Now sparse warns:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:21: expected struct ifacaddr6 *ifaca6
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:21: got struct ifacaddr6 [noderef] __rcu *ac_list
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:53: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:53: expected struct ifacaddr6 *ifaca6
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:53: got struct ifacaddr6 [noderef] __rcu *aca_next

Fix it by using rtnl_dereference(). Also add a note that read_lock_bh() calls
rcu_read_lock() which I was not aware of.
