If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stanislaw Gruszka commit 9186a1fd9ed190739423db84bc344d258ef3e3d7 upstream. 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 IP: [] strnlen+0xd/0x40 Call Trace: [] string.isra.3+0x3e/0xd0 [] vsnprintf+0x219/0x640 [] vscnprintf+0x11/0x30 [] vprintk_emit+0x115/0x4f0 [] printk+0x61/0x63 [] ieee80211_chswitch_done+0xaf/0xd0 [mac80211] [] iwl_chswitch_done+0x34/0x40 [iwldvm] [] iwlagn_commit_rxon+0x2a3/0xdc0 [iwldvm] [] ? iwlagn_set_rxon_chain+0x180/0x2c0 [iwldvm] [] iwl_set_mode+0x36/0x40 [iwldvm] [] iwlagn_mac_remove_interface+0x8d/0x1b0 [iwldvm] [] ieee80211_do_stop+0x29d/0x7f0 [mac80211] 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().
