Subject: [PATCH] d80211: fix softlockup in hw_scan card when rmmod
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2006 14:43:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1166597031.22413.11.camel@devlinux-hong> (raw)
The local->scan_work.data is not clear after scan is completed.
This will cause softlockup when removing driver module because
the local->scan_work is not initialized for hw_scan card
and we are trying to cancel the scan_work with an uninitialized timer_list.
