il4965_store_tx_power() calls il_set_tx_power() without holding il->mutex. However, il_set_tx_power() has lockdep_assert_held(&il->mutex) indicating that callers must hold this lock. All other callers of il_set_tx_power() properly acquire the mutex: - il_bg_scan_completed() acquires mutex at common.c:1683 - il_mac_config() acquires mutex at common.c:5006 - il3945_commit_rxon() and il4965_commit_rxon() are called via work queues that hold the mutex (like il4965_bg_alive_start) Add mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() around the il_set_tx_power() call in the sysfs store function to fix the missing lock protection.
