+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: do not wake queues on a vif that is being stopped
+
+When a vif is being removed and sdata->bss is cleared, __ieee80211_wake_txqs
+can still be called on it, which crashes as soon as sdata->bss is being
+dereferenced.
+To fix this properly, check for SDATA_STATE_RUNNING before waking queues,
+and take the fq lock when setting it (to ensure that __ieee80211_wake_txqs
+observes the change when running on a different CPU
