Commit beee24695157 ("cfg80211: Save the regulatory domain when setting custom regulatory") adds a get_wiphy_regdom call to wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory. But as the comment above wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory says: "/* Used by drivers prior to wiphy registration */" this function is used by driver's probe function before the wiphy is registered and at this point wiphy->regd will typically by NULL and calling rcu_dereference_rtnl on a NULL pointer causes the following warning/backtrace: ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 5.11.0-rc1+ #19 Tainted: G W ----------------------------- net/wireless/reg.c:144 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 2 locks held by kworker/2:0/22: #0: ffff9a4bc104df38 ((wq_completion)events){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work+0x1ee/0x570 #1: ffffb6e94010be78 ((work_completion)(&fw_work->work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work+0x1ee/0x570 stack backtrace: CPU: 2 PID: 22 Comm: kworker/2:0 Tainted: G W 5.11.0-rc1+ #19 Hardware name: LENOVO 60073/INVALID, BIOS 01WT17WW 08/01/2014 Workqueue: events request_firmware_work_func Call Trace: dump_stack+0x8b/0xb0 get_wiphy_regdom+0x57/0x60 [cfg80211] wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory+0xa0/0xf0 [cfg80211] brcmf_cfg80211_attach+0xb02/0x1360 [brcmfmac] brcmf_attach+0x189/0x460 [brcmfmac] brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback+0x78a/0x8f0 [brcmfmac] brcmf_fw_request_done+0x67/0xf0 [brcmfmac] request_firmware_work_func+0x3d/0x70 process_one_work+0x26e/0x570 worker_thread+0x55/0x3c0 ? process_one_work+0x570/0x570 kthread+0x137/0x150 ? __kthread_bind_mask+0x60/0x60 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 Add a check for wiphy->regd being NULL before calling get_wiphy_regdom (as is already done in other places) to fix this. wiphy->regd will likely always be NULL when wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory gets called, so arguably the tmp = get_wiphy_regdom() and rcu_free_regdom(tmp) calls should simply be dropped, this patch keeps the 2 calls, to allow drivers to call wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory more then once if necessary.
