Subject: [PATCH 3.11] iwlwifi: dvm: fix calling ieee80211_chswitch_done() with NULL
Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:29:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130726132909.GA21925@redhat.com> (raw)

If channel switch is pending and we remove interface we can
crash like showed below due to passing NULL vif to mac80211:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffff8cc

This is because we nulify ctx->vif in iwlagn_mac_remove_interface()
before calling some other functions that teardown interface. To fix
just check ctx->vif on iwl_chswitch_done(). We should not call
ieee80211_chswitch_done() as channel switch works were already canceled
by mac80211 in ieee80211_do_stop() -> ieee80211_mgd_stop().
