Commit Message

Hans de Goede April 5, 2021, 8:54 p.m. UTC
Commit a05829a7222e ("cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the
driver") replaced the rtnl_lock parameter passed to various brcmf
functions with just lock, because since that commit it is not just
about the rtnl_lock but also about the wiphy_lock .

During this search/replace the "if (!rtnl_locked)" check in brcmfmac/p2p.c
was accidentally replaced with "if (locked)", dropping the inversion of
the check. This causes the code to now call rtnl_lock() while already
holding the lock, causing a deadlock.

Add back the "!" to the if-condition to fix this.

But it is not yet in 5.12-rc6, even though this is a regression fix for a
regression introduced in 5.12. What is the plan to get this into 5.12 ?
