In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ath11k: mhi: use mhi_sync_power_up()
If amss.bin was missing ath11k would crash during rmmod ath11k_pci. The
reason for that was that we were using mhi_async_power_up() which does not
check any errors. But mhi_sync_power_up() on the other hand does check for
errors so lets use that to fix the crash.
I was not able to find a reason why an async version was used.
ath11k_mhi_start() (which enables state ATH11K_MHI_POWER_ON) is called from
ath11k_hif_power_up(), which can sleep. So sync version should be safe to use
here.
