From c926d006c1514cfb3572893f41f2324e96823661 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Harvey Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2010 10:43:13 -0800 Subject: mac80211: Fix NULL-pointer deference on ibss merge when not ready dev_open will eventually call ieee80211_ibss_join which sets up the skb used for beacons/probe-responses however it is possible to receive beacons that attempt to merge before this occurs causing a null pointer dereference. Check ssid_len as that is the last thing set in ieee80211_ibss_join. This occurs quite easily in the presence of adhoc nodes with hidden SSID's revised previous patch to check further up based on irc feedback Signed-off-by: Tim Harvey Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

If an usb driver doesn't have a suspend hook, the usb stack will disconnect the device. On disconnect, a mac80211 driver calls ieee80211_unregister_hw, which calls dev_close, which calls ieee80211_stop, and in the end calls ieee80211_work_purge-> ieee80211_work_work. The problem is that this call to ieee80211_work_purge comes after mac80211 is suspended, triggering the warning even when we don't have work queued in work_list (the expected case when already suspended), because it always calls ieee80211_work_work. So, just call ieee80211_work_work in ieee80211_work_purge if we really have to abort work.
