From ef115c265a21e3c11deee7f73bd1061775a7bf20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baochen Qiang Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2025 10:55:34 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath12k: fix a possible dead lock caused by ab->base_lock spin_lock/spin_unlock are used in ath12k_reg_chan_list_event to acquire/release ab->base_lock. For now this is safe because that function is only called in soft IRQ context. But ath12k_reg_chan_list_event() will be called from process context in an upcoming patch, and this can result in a deadlock if ab->base_lock is acquired in process context and then soft IRQ occurs on the same CPU and tries to acquire that lock. Fix it by using spin_lock_bh and spin_unlock_bh instead.
