  - drivers: staging: rtl8192eu: Fix deadlock in rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle There is a deadlock in     rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle(), which is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) | _set_timer()     rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle()| mod_timer() spin_lock_bh() //(1) | (wait a time) ... |     rtw_join_timeout_handler() | _rtw_join_timeout_handler() del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_bh() //(2) (wait     timer to stop) | ... We hold pmlmepriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use del_timer_sync() to wait     timer to stop, but timer handler also need pmlmepriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result,     rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle() will block forever. This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection     of spin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtain the needed lock. What`s more, we change     spin_lock_bh() to spin_lock_irq() in _rtw_join_timeout_handler() in order to prevent deadlock.
