Sin embargo, debido al orden en que se inicializan las cosas, no se garantiza que este sea el caso, porque el dispositivo queda expuesto al subsistema USB antes de que se complete la inicializaci\u00f3n del controlador ath9k. Ya cometimos una soluci\u00f3n parcial para esto en la confirmaci\u00f3n: 8b3046abc99e (\\\"ath9k_htc: corrige la desreferencia del puntero NULL en ath9k_htc_tx_get_packet()\\\") Sin embargo, esa confirmaci\u00f3n solo abort\u00f3 el comando WMI_TXSTATUS_EVENTID en el tasklet de eventos, emparej\u00e1ndolo con un bit de \\\"inicializaci\u00f3n completa\\\" en la estructura TX. Parece que syzbot tambi\u00e9n logr\u00f3 activar la carrera para uno de los otros comandos, as\u00ed que simplemente movamos el bit de sincronizaci\u00f3n existente para cubrir todo el tasklet (configur\u00e1ndolo al final de ath9k_htc_probe_device() en lugar de dentro de ath9k_tx_init()).\"}],\"metrics\":{},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1bc5461a21c56a36e2a7d81e152b90ce019a3905\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/24355fcb0d4cbcb6ddda262596558e8cfba70f11\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4afa0246656d5680c8a4c3fb37ba6570c4ab819b\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/74d0639261dd795dce958d1b14815bdcbb48a715\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a015fbf698c8957aa5fbeefc5c59dd2cf3107298\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ac90e22e735bac44f74b5161fb096fbeb0ff8bc2\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f8ff4b4df71e87f609be0cc37d92e918107f9b90\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"}]}}"
