CVE-2025-38601

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: ath11k: clear initialized flag for deinit-ed srng lists

In a number of cases we see kernel panics on resume due to ath11k kernel page fault, which happens under the following circumstances:

1) First ath11khaldumpsrngstats() call

Last interrupt received for each group: ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: groupid 0 22511ms before ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: groupid 1 14440788ms before [..] ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: failed to receive control response completion, polling.. ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: Service connect timeout ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: failed to connect to HTT: -110 ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: failed to start core: -110 ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: firmware crashed: MHICBEERDDM ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: already resetting count 2 ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: failed to wait wlan mode request (mode 4): -110 ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: qmi failed to send wlan mode off: -110 ath11kpci 0000:01:00.0: failed to reconfigure driver on crash recovery [..]

2) At this point reconfiguration fails (we have 2 resets) and ath11kcorereconfigureoncrash() calls ath11khalsrng_deinit() which destroys srng lists. However, it does not reset per-list ->initialized flag.

3) Second ath11khaldumpsrngstats() call sees stale ->initialized flag and attempts to dump srng stats:
