This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled cfg80211: free sme on connection failures to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.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-3.11.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 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 5f2fc3b1cdf183acae858bd4ed3184b83d632e1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:58:13 +0300 Subject: cfg80211: free sme on connection failures commit c1fbb258846dfc425507a093922d2d001e54c3ea upstream. cfg80211 is notified about connection failures by __cfg80211_connect_result() call. However, this function currently does not free cfg80211 sme. This results in hanging connection attempts in some cases e.g. when mac80211 authentication attempt is denied, we have this function call: ieee80211_rx_mgmt_auth() -> cfg80211_rx_mlme_mgmt() -> cfg80211_process_auth() -> cfg80211_sme_rx_auth() -> __cfg80211_connect_result() but cfg80211_sme_free() is never get called.
