-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
