wifi: ath9k: protect WMI command response buffer replacement with a lock

Browse source

[ Upstream commit 454994cfa9 ]

If ath9k_wmi_cmd() has exited with a timeout, it is possible that during
next ath9k_wmi_cmd() call the wmi_rsp callback for previous wmi command
writes to new wmi->cmd_rsp_buf and makes a completion. This results in an
invalid ath9k_wmi_cmd() return value.

Move the replacement of WMI command response buffer and length under
wmi_lock. Note that last_seq_id value is updated there, too.

Thus, the buffer cannot be written to by a belated wmi_rsp callback
because that path is properly rejected by the last_seq_id check.
