Runyu Xiao 9a4be91e5b wifi: brcmfmac: initialize SDIO data work before cleanup
[ Upstream commit 2a665946e0 ]

brcmf_sdio_probe() stores the newly allocated bus in sdiodev->bus before
allocating the ordered workqueue. If that allocation fails, the function
jumps to fail and calls brcmf_sdio_remove().

brcmf_sdio_remove() unconditionally cancels bus->datawork. Initialize the
work item before the first failure path that can reach brcmf_sdio_remove(),
so the cleanup path always observes a valid work object.

This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then confirmed by
manual review of the probe error path and the remove-time work drain. The
problem pattern is an early setup failure that reaches a cleanup helper
which cancels an embedded work item before its initializer has run.

A QEMU PoC forced alloc_ordered_workqueue() to fail at the same point in
brcmf_sdio_probe(), before INIT_WORK(&bus->datawork) is reached. The
resulting fail path calls brcmf_sdio_remove(), and DEBUG_OBJECTS reports
the invalid work drain with brcmf_sdio_probe() and brcmf_sdio_remove() in
the stack.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
