This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mac80211: use del_timer_sync for final sta cleanup timer to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From d3f34f769a24c4e627849deb774461dcc239c12d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 23:08:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: use del_timer_sync for final sta cleanup timer deletion commit a56f992cdabc63f56b4b142885deebebf936ff76 upstream. This is a very old bug, but there's nothing that prevents the timer from running while the module is being removed when we only do del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync(). The timer should normally not be running at this point, but it's not clearly impossible (or we could just remove this.)
