mac80211: fix sta assignment
I just had the following: WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn-tx.c:574 iwlagn_tx_skb+0x1576/0x15f0 [iwlagn]() Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff8105c5df>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff8105c63a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffffa0290b46>] iwlagn_tx_skb+0x1576/0x15f0 [iwlagn] [<ffffffffa027076c>] iwl_mac_tx+0x5c/0x260 [iwlagn] [<ffffffffa01bdf5b>] __ieee80211_tx+0x10b/0x1a0 [mac80211] [<ffffffffa01bfb86>] ieee80211_tx_pending+0x186/0x2d0 [mac80211] [<ffffffff81062ea5>] tasklet_action+0x125/0x130 [<ffffffff810634a6>] __do_softirq+0x106/0x270 [<ffffffff8100c09c>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Attempting to modify non-existing station 107 Note that 107 == 0x6b which is slab poison. The reason is that mac80211 passed a freed station pointer to mac80211, because as it happened iwlwifi reset itself while mac80211 was disconnecting from the network. It turns out that we do take care to look up the station pointer in ieee80211_tx_pending_skb, but then don't use it, which obviously is a bug. Fix this by removing the ieee80211_tx_h_sta handler and assigning the station pointer directly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
