From 58b29725e5bd74da734c6f3fd1eac934a8fed73e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:47:38 +0200 Subject: mac80211: delete work timer commit 071249b1d501b1f31a6b1af3fbcbe03158a84e5c upstream. The new workqueue changes helped me find this bug that's been lingering since the changes to the work processing in mac80211 -- the work timer is never deleted properly. Do that to avoid having it fire after all data structures have been freed. It can't be re-armed because all it will do, if running, is schedule the work, but that gets flushed later and won't have anything to do since all work items are gone by now (by way of interface removal).
