[ Upstream commit 0fb15ae3b0a9221be01715dac0335647c79f3362 ]
plfxlc_mac_release() asserts that mac->lock is held. This assertion is incorrect, because even if it was possible, it would not be the valid behaviour. The function is used when probe fails or after the device is disconnected. In both cases mac->lock can not be held as the driver is not working with the device at the moment. All functions that use mac->lock unlock it just after it was held. There is also no need to hold mac->lock for plfxlc_mac_release() itself, as mac data is not affected, except for mac->flags, which is modified atomically.
This bug leads to the following warning: ================================================================ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 127 at drivers/net/wireless/purelifi/plfxlc/mac.c:106 plfxlc_mac_release+0x7d/0xa0 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 127 Comm: kworker/0:2 Not tainted 6.1.124-syzkaller #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 09/13/2024 Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event RIP: 0010:plfxlc_mac_release+0x7d/0xa0 drivers/net/wireless/purelifi/plfxlc/mac.c:106 Call Trace: <TASK> probe+0x941/0xbd0 drivers/net/wireless/purelifi/plfxlc/usb.c:694 usb_probe_interface+0x5c0/0xaf0 drivers/usb/core/driver.c:396 really_probe+0x2ab/0xcb0 drivers/base/dd.c:639 __driver_probe_device+0x1a2/0x3d0 drivers/base/dd.c:785 driver_probe_device+0x50/0x420 drivers/base/dd.c:815 __device_attach_driver+0x2cf/0x510 drivers/base/dd.c:943 bus_for_each_drv+0x183/0x200 drivers/base/bus.c:429 __device_attach+0x359/0x570 drivers/base/dd.c:1015 bus_probe_device+0xba/0x1e0 drivers/base/bus.c:489 device_add+0xb48/0xfd0 drivers/base/core.c:3696 usb_set_configuration+0x19dd/0x2020 drivers/usb/core/message.c:2165 usb_generic_driver_probe+0x84/0x140 drivers/usb/core/generic.c:238 usb_probe_device+0x130/0x260 drivers/usb/core/driver.c:293 really_probe+0x2ab/0xcb0 drivers/base/dd.c:639 __driver_probe_device+0x1a2/0x3d0 drivers/base/dd.c:785 driver_probe_device+0x50/0x420 drivers/base/dd.c:815 __device_attach_driver+0x2cf/0x510 drivers/base/dd.c:943 bus_for_each_drv+0x183/0x200 drivers/base/bus.c:429 __device_attach+0x359/0x570 drivers/base/dd.c:1015 bus_probe_device+0xba/0x1e0 drivers/base/bus.c:489 device_add+0xb48/0xfd0 drivers/base/core.c:3696 usb_new_device+0xbdd/0x18f0 drivers/usb/core/hub.c:2620 hub_port_connect drivers/usb/core/hub.c:5477 [inline] hub_port_connect_change drivers/usb/core/hub.c:5617 [inline] port_event drivers/usb/core/hub.c:5773 [inline] hub_event+0x2efe/0x5730 drivers/usb/core/hub.c:5855 process_one_work+0x8a9/0x11d0 kernel/workqueue.c:2292 worker_thread+0xa47/0x1200 kernel/workqueue.c:2439 kthread+0x28d/0x320 kernel/kthread.c:376 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:295 </TASK> ================================================================
