The ieee80211_csa_finish() function currently uses for_each_sdata_link()
to iterate over links of sdata. However, this macro internally uses
wiphy_dereference(), which expects the wiphy->mtx lock to be held.
When ieee80211_csa_finish() is invoked under an RCU read-side critical
section (e.g., under rcu_read_lock()), this leads to a warning from the
RCU debugging framework.
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
net/mac80211/cfg.c:3830 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!
This warning is triggered because wiphy_dereference() is not safe to use
without holding the wiphy mutex, and it is being used in an RCU context
without the required locking.
Fix this by introducing and using a new macro, for_each_sdata_link_rcu(),
which performs RCU-safe iteration over sdata links using
list_for_each_entry_rcu() and rcu_dereference(). This ensures that the
link pointers are accessed safely under RCU and eliminates the warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
