From d70ab4ad8769944e2e01e678d1c04318d15a5332 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Kazior Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:23:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix txq queue related crashes commit 2a58d42c1e018ad514d4e23fd33fb2ded95d3ee6 upstream. The driver can access the queue simultanously while mac80211 tears down the interface. Without spinlock protection this could lead to corrupting sk_buff_head and subsequently to an invalid pointer dereference.
