I agree. In Dan's approach I'm worried about the race when we unlock and lock again, the state can change in that case. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches

This error path leads to a Smatch warning: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:4269 ath11k_mac_op_start() error: double unlocked '&ar->conf_mutex' (orig line 4251) We're not holding the lock when we do the "goto err;" so it leads to a double unlock. We should hold the lock because the error path sets "ar->state" so the right fix is to take the lock before doing the goto.
