Subject: [PATCH repost] mac80211: fix conn_mon_timer running after disassociate
Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 09:05:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110218080451.GA2643@redhat.com> (raw)

Low level driver could pass rx frames to us after disassociate, what
can lead to run conn_mon_timer by ieee80211_sta_rx_notify(). That
is obviously wrong, but nothing happens until we unload modules and
resources are used after free. If kernel debugging is enabled following
warning could be observed:

WARNING: at lib/debugobjects.c:259 debug_print_object+0x65/0x70()
