wifi: mac80211: fix a expired vs. cancel race in roc
When the remain on channel is removed at the time it should have expired, we have a race: the driver could be handling the flow of the expiration while mac80211 is cancelling that very same remain on channel request. This wouldn't be problem in itself, but since mac80211 can send the next request to the driver in the cancellation flow, we can get to the following situation: CPU0 CPU1 expiration of roc in driver ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired() Cancellation of the roc schedules a worker (hw_roc_done) Add next roc hw_roc_done_wk runs and ends the second roc prematurely. Since, by design, there is only one single request sent to the driver at a time, we can safely assume that after the cancel() request returns from the driver, we should not handle any worker that handles the expiration of the request. Cancel the hw_roc_done worker after the cancellation to make sure we start the next one with a clean slate.
