Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: fix gtk offload status event locking
Date:   Thu, 19 Oct 2023 17:53:42 +0200

The ath11k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the gtk offload status
event handling code calling ath11k_mac_get_arvif_by_vdev_id() was not
marked as a read-side critical section.

Mark the code in question as an RCU read-side critical section to avoid
any potential use-after-free issues.

Fixes: a16d9b50cfba ("ath11k: support GTK rekey offload")

...and here's one more, this time using the
ath11k_mac_get_arvif_by_vdev_id() helper.
