(gdb) list *iwl_mac_reset_tsf+0xa7
0x35c7 is in iwl_mac_reset_tsf (drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-core.c:2849).
2844 dev_kfree_skb(priv->ibss_beacon);
2845
2846 priv->ibss_beacon = NULL;
2847
2848 priv->beacon_int = priv->vif->bss_conf.beacon_int;
2849 priv->timestamp = 0;
2850 if ((priv->iw_mode == NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION))
2851 priv->beacon_int = 0;
2852
2853 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&priv->lock, flags);
The gdb identification is wrong and it's actually the line before it.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000012
(gdb) print &((struct ieee80211_vif *)0)->bss_conf.beacon_int
$1 = (u16 *) 0x12
In iwl_irq_tasklet, if there was a firmware hw error we issue the message and
then call iwl_irq_handle_error. That queues work on the priv->restart wq, which
is iwl_bg_restart. In the case of a firmware error, it shuts down the interface
including priv->vif = NULL.
So it looks like there's a race between the hardware resetting and the mac80211
layer scheduling its own workqueues.
Assigning to wifi expert.
