mac80211: fix a kernel panic when TXing after TXQ teardown
Recently TXQ teardown was moved earlier in ieee80211_unregister_hw(), to avoid a use-after-free of the netdev data. However, interfaces aren't fully removed at the point, and cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces can for example, TX a deauth frame. Move the TXQ teardown to the point between cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces and the free of netdev queues, so we can be sure they are torn down before netdev is freed, but after there is no ongoing TX. Fixes: 77cfaf52eca5 ("mac80211: Run TXQ teardown code before de-registering interfaces") Signed-off-by: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
