+Subject: wifi: ath10k: avoid NULL pointer error during sdio remove
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

+
+commit 95c38953cb1ecf40399a676a1f85dfe2b5780a9a upstream.
+
+When running 'rmmod ath10k', ath10k_sdio_remove() will free sdio
+workqueue by destroy_workqueue(). But if CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON
+is set to yes, kernel panic will happen:
+Call trace:
+ destroy_workqueue+0x1c/0x258
+ ath10k_sdio_remove+0x84/0x94
+ sdio_bus_remove+0x50/0x16c
+ device_release_driver_internal+0x188/0x25c
+ device_driver_detach+0x20/0x2c
+
+This is because during 'rmmod ath10k', ath10k_sdio_remove() will call
+ath10k_core_destroy() before destroy_workqueue(). wiphy_dev_release()
+will finally be called in ath10k_core_destroy(). This function will free
+struct cfg80211_registered_device *rdev and all its members, including
+wiphy, dev and the pointer of sdio workqueue. Then the pointer of sdio
+workqueue will be set to NULL due to CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON.
+
+After device release, destroy_workqueue() will use NULL pointer then the
+kernel panic happen.
+
+Call trace:
+ath10k_sdio_remove
+  ->ath10k_core_unregister
+    ……
+    ->ath10k_core_stop
+      ->ath10k_hif_stop
+        ->ath10k_sdio_irq_disable
+    ->ath10k_hif_power_down
+      ->del_timer_sync(&ar_sdio->sleep_timer)
+  ->ath10k_core_destroy
+    ->ath10k_mac_destroy
+      ->ieee80211_free_hw
+        ->wiphy_free
+    ……
+          ->wiphy_dev_release
+  ->destroy_workqueue
+
+Need to call destroy_workqueue() before ath10k_core_destroy(), free
+the work queue buffer first and then free pointer of work queue by
+ath10k_core_destroy(). This order matches the error path order in
+ath10k_sdio_probe().
+
+No work will be queued on sdio workqueue between it is destroyed and
+ath10k_core_destroy() is called. Based on the call_stack above, the
+reason is:
+Only ath10k_sdio_sleep_timer_handler(), ath10k_sdio_hif_tx_sg() and
+ath10k_sdio_irq_disable() will queue work on sdio workqueue.
+Sleep timer will be deleted before ath10k_core_destroy() in
+ath10k_hif_power_down().
+ath10k_sdio_irq_disable() only be called in ath10k_hif_stop().
+ath10k_core_unregister() will call ath10k_hif_power_down() to stop hif
+bus, so ath10k_sdio_hif_tx_sg() won't be called anymore.
