Subject: [PATCH wireless-next v2 23/28] wifi: iwlwifi: mld: Support force-cleanup op
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 10:00:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312170026.285494-24-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312170026.285494-1-greearb@candelatech.com>
From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>
This lets mac80211 force the driver to clean up any lingering
configuration, fixing use-after-free in case of unrecoverable
hardware failure.
