Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> wifi: ath11k: Clear affinity hint before calling ath11k_pcic_free_irq() in error path<br /> <br /> If a shared IRQ is used by the driver due to platform limitation, then the<br /> IRQ affinity hint is set right after the allocation of IRQ vectors in<br /> ath11k_pci_alloc_msi(). This does no harm unless one of the functions<br /> requesting the IRQ fails and attempt to free the IRQ. This results in the<br /> below warning:<br /> <br /> WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 349 at kernel/irq/manage.c:1929 free_irq+0x278/0x29c<br /> Call trace:<br /> free_irq+0x278/0x29c<br /> ath11k_pcic_free_irq+0x70/0x10c [ath11k]<br /> ath11k_pci_probe+0x800/0x820 [ath11k_pci]<br /> local_pci_probe+0x40/0xbc<br /> <br /> The warning is due to not clearing the affinity hint before freeing the<br /> IRQs.<br /> <br /> So to fix this issue, clear the IRQ affinity hint before calling<br /> ath11k_pcic_free_irq() in the error path. The affinity will be cleared once<br /> again further down the error path due to code organization, but that does<br /> no harm.<br /> <br /> Tested-on: QCA6390 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HST.1.0.1-05266-QCAHSTSWPLZ_V2_TO_X86-1
