Created attachment 155958 [details] Remove old iv_bss entry from the node table This may happen on RUN -> SCAN -> RUN -> SCAN state transition: 1. RUN -> SCAN: in ieee80211_sta_join1(): iv_bss will be moved to obss, refcnt will be reduced by 2 (default minimum). Now, if old iv_bss have some extra references (for example, from unacknowledged probe responses), it will not be freed and will stay in the node table. 2. SCAN -> RUN. 3. If old iv_bss will not be deleted by the time when the next RUN -> SCAN state transition occurs, then sta_leave() will reduce it's reference counter once more. As a result, two last users will free it -> this will lead to kernel panic. In this patch old iv_bss entry is explicitly removed from the node table in ieee80211_sta_join1() (as a result, it will not be processed by sta_leave()).
