The commit 03fb92a432ea ("ath9k: hif_usb: fix race condition between
usb_get_urb() and usb_kill_anchored_urbs()") adds three usb_get_urb
in ath9k_hif_usb_dealloc_tx_urbs and usb_free_urb.

Fix this bug by adding corresponding usb_free_urb in
ath9k_hif_usb_dealloc_tx_urbs other and hif_usb_stop.

Any idea about this patch?

In the past there have been so many problems with ath9k syzbot fixes
that I have now a hard time trusting them. Can someone review this in
detail, please?

Hi Dongliang,

(Drive-by review, I know almost nothing about the code in question)

Ok, so if I'm reading this correctly, before the first usb_free_urb()
call, we have two references to the urb at tx_buf->urb.

Why?

Isn't the better fix here to detangle why there's more than one
reference to it and resolve it that way? This looks like a hack to fix
something much more fundamentally broken.

Thanks,

Yeah, this looks very suspicious.

One more thing: also the patch should be tested with real hardware. I'm
worried that people are just trying to fix a syzbot warning and not
really considering how it works in real life. That's why I'm extra
careful with syzbot patches for wireless drivers.
