Well, they are parts of the same problem but now it seems more relevant to divide the patch in two: the first one for incorrect last_seq_id synchronization and the second one for recording rsp buffer under the lock. Thanks!

Currently, the synchronization between ath9k_wmi_cmd() and ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx() is exposed to a race condition which, although being rather unlikely, can lead to invalid behaviour of ath9k_wmi_cmd(). Consider the following scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ath9k_wmi_cmd(...) mutex_lock(&wmi->op_mutex) ath9k_wmi_cmd_issue(...) wait_for_completion_timeout(...) --- timeout --- /* the callback is being processed * before last_seq_id became zero */ ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx(...) spin_lock_irqsave(...) /* wmi->last_seq_id check here * doesn't detect timeout yet */ spin_unlock_irqrestore(...) /* last_seq_id is zeroed to * indicate there was a timeout */ wmi->last_seq_id = 0 mutex_unlock(&wmi->op_mutex) return -ETIMEDOUT ath9k_wmi_cmd(...) mutex_lock(&wmi->op_mutex) /* the buffer is replaced with * another one */ wmi->cmd_rsp_buf = rsp_buf wmi->cmd_rsp_len = rsp_len ath9k_wmi_cmd_issue(...) spin_lock_irqsave(...) spin_unlock_irqrestore(...) wait_for_completion_timeout(...) /* the continuation of the * callback left after the first * ath9k_wmi_cmd call */ ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback(...) /* copying data designated * to already timeouted * WMI command into an * inappropriate wmi_cmd_buf */ memcpy(...) complete(&wmi->cmd_wait) /* awakened by the bogus callback * => invalid return result */ mutex_unlock(&wmi->op_mutex) return 0 To fix this, move ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback() under wmi_lock inside ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx() so that the wmi->cmd_wait can be completed only for initially designated wmi_cmd call, otherwise the path would be rejected with last_seq_id check. Also move recording the rsp buffer and length into ath9k_wmi_cmd_issue() under the same wmi_lock with last_seq_id update to avoid their racy changes.
