[PATCH] wifi: ath10k: sdio: add missing lock protection in ath10k_sdio_fw_crashed_dump()

From: Ziyi Guo <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-23 04:58:29
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: atheros ath generic utilities, qualcomm atheros ath10k wireless driver, the rest · Maintainers: Jeff Johnson, Linus Torvalds

ath10k_sdio_fw_crashed_dump() calls ath10k_coredump_new() which requires
ar->dump_mutex to be held, as indicated by lockdep_assert_held() in that
function. However, the SDIO implementation does not acquire this lock,
unlike the PCI and SNOC implementations which properly hold the mutex.

Additionally, ar->stats.fw_crash_counter is documented as protected by
ar->data_lock in core.h, but the SDIO implementation modifies it without
holding this spinlock.

Add the missing mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() around the coredump
operations, and add spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() around the
fw_crash_counter increment, following the pattern used in
ath10k_pci_fw_dump_work() and ath10k_snoc_fw_crashed_dump().

Fixes: 3c45f21af84e ("ath10k: sdio: add firmware coredump support")
