Detail

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ath11k: fix netdev open race

Make sure to allocate resources needed before registering the device.

This specifically avoids having a racing open() trigger a BUG_ON() in mod_timer() when ath11k_mac_op_start() is called before the mon_reap_timer as been set up.

I did not see this issue with next-20220310, but I hit it on every probe with next-20220511. Perhaps some timing changed in between.

Here's the backtrace:
