Commit beee24695157 ("cfg80211: Save the regulatory domain when
setting custom regulatory") adds a get_wiphy_regdom call to
wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory. But as the comment above
wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory says:
"/* Used by drivers prior to wiphy registration */"
this function is used by driver's probe function before the wiphy is
registered and at this point wiphy->regd will typically by NULL and
calling rcu_dereference_rtnl on a NULL pointer causes the following
warning/backtrace:

=============================

Add a check for wiphy->regd being NULL before calling get_wiphy_regdom
(as is already done in other places) to fix this.

wiphy->regd will likely always be NULL when wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory
gets called, so arguably the tmp = get_wiphy_regdom() and
rcu_free_regdom(tmp) calls should simply be dropped, this patch keeps the
2 calls, to allow drivers to call wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory more then
once if necessary.

This only fixes the first case where the pointer in NULL and does not handle the wrong RCU usage in other cases.

I'll prepare a fix for this.

Thanks for addressing the bug,

Any luck with this? This is a regression in 5.11, so this really should
be fixed in a future 5.11-rc and the clock is running out.

Yes. The fix is ready. We'll send it.

Hi,

This fix can be found here. It was merged to the mac80211 tree.
