    cfg80211: don't "leak" uncompleted scans · 4a58e7c3
    Eliad Peller 提交于
    ___cfg80211_scan_done() can be called in some cases
    (e.g. on NETDEV_DOWN) before the low level driver
    notified scan completion (which is indicated by
    passing leak=true).
    
    Clearing rdev->scan_req in this case is buggy, as
    scan_done_wk might have already being queued/running
    (and can't be flushed as it takes rtnl()).
    
    If a new scan will be requested at this stage, the
    scan_done_wk will try freeing it (instead of the
    previous scan), and this will later result in
    a use after free.
    
    Simply remove the "leak" option, and replace it with
    a standard WARN_ON.
