[Deepin-Kernel-SIG] [Backport] [linux 6.6-y] wifi: rtw89: fix race between cancel_hw_scan and hw_scan c…

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v6.14-rc1
category: bugfix

The rtwdev->scanning flag isn't protected by mutex originally, so cancel_hw_scan can pass the condition, but suddenly hw_scan completion unset the flag and calls ieee80211_scan_completed() that will free local->hw_scan_req. Then, cancel_hw_scan raises null-ptr-deref and use-after-free. Fix it by moving the check condition to where protected by mutex.

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000088-0x000000000000008f]

Reviewer's Guide by Sourcery

This pull request addresses a race condition in the rtw89 driver between the cancel_hw_scan and hw_scan completion routines. The fix ensures that the rtwdev->scanning flag is checked under the protection of a mutex to prevent null-pointer dereferences and use-after-free issues.

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Moved the check for the scanning flag to be within the mutex lock.	The check if (!rtwdev->scanning) was moved inside the mutex lock. Added a goto statement to jump to the mutex unlock if scanning is not active.	drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/mac80211.c
