mwifiex: re-register wiphy across reset
In general, it's helpful to use the same code for device removal as for device reset, as this tends to have fewer bugs. Let's move the wiphy unregistration code into the common reset and removal code. In particular, it's very hard to properly handle the reset sequence when something fails. Currently, if mwifiex_reinit_sw() fails, we've failed to unregister the associated wiphy, and so running something as simple as "iw phy" can trigger an OOPS, as the wiphy still has hooks back into freed mwifiex data structures. For example, KASAN complained: [... see reset fail for other reasons ...] [ 1184.821158] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: info: dnld wifi firmware from 174948 bytes [ 1186.870914] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: info: FW download over, size 608396 bytes [ 1187.685990] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: WLAN FW is active [ 1187.692673] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: cmd_wait_q terminated: -512 [ 1187.699075] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: info: _mwifiex_fw_dpc: unregister device [ 1187.713476] mwifiex: Failed to bring up adapter: -5 [ 1187.718644] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: reinit failed: -5 [... run `iw phy` ...] [ 1212.902419] ================================================================== [ 1212.909806] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mwifiex_cfg80211_get_antenna+0x54/0xfc [mwifiex] at addr ffffffc0ad1a8028 [ 1212.920246] Read of size 1 by task iw/3127 [...] [ 1212.934946] page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected [...] [ 1212.950665] Call trace: [ 1212.953148] [<ffffffc00020a69c>] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x190 [ 1212.958572] [<ffffffc00020a96c>] show_stack+0x20/0x28 [ 1212.963648] [<ffffffc0005ce18c>] dump_stack+0xa4/0xcc [ 1212.968723] [<ffffffc0003c4430>] kasan_report+0x378/0x500 [ 1212.974140] [<ffffffc0003c3358>] __asan_load1+0x44/0x4c [ 1212.979462] [<ffffffbffc2e8360>] mwifiex_cfg80211_get_antenna+0x54/0xfc [mwifiex] [ 1212.987131] [<ffffffbffc084fc4>] nl80211_send_wiphy+0x75c/0x2de0 [cfg80211] [ 1212.994246] [<ffffffbffc094f60>] nl80211_dump_wiphy+0x32c/0x438 [cfg80211] [ 1213.001149] [<ffffffc000ab6404>] genl_lock_dumpit+0x48/0x64 [ 1213.006746] [<ffffffc000ab3474>] netlink_dump+0x178/0x398 [ 1213.012171] [<ffffffc000ab3d18>] __netlink_dump_start+0x1bc/0x260 [...] This all goes away if we just tear down the wiphy on the way down, and set it back up if/when we bring the device back up.
