Subject: [PATCH] libertas: ensure we clean up a scan request properly
Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2011 10:19:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111026101926.48109373@queued.net> (raw)

Commit 2e30168b ("libertas: terminate scan when stopping interface")
adds cleanup code to lbs_eth_stop to call cfg80211_scan_done if there's
an outstanding cfg80211_scan_request.  However, it assumes that the
scan request was allocated via the cfg80211 stack.  Libertas has
its own internal allocation method, kept track of with
priv->internal_scan.  This doesn't set scan_req->wiphy, amongst other
things, which results in hitting a BUG() when we call cfg80211_scan_done
on the request.

This provides a function to take care of the low-level scan_req cleanup
details.  We simply call that to deal with finishing up scan requests.

The bug we were hitting was:

[  964.321495] kernel BUG at net/wireless/core.h:87!
[  964.329970] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
