Subject: [PATCH 4.20] ath10k: don't assume 'vif' is non-NULL in flush()
Date: Wed,  7 Nov 2018 16:40:35 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181108004035.136050-1-briannorris@chromium.org> (raw)

mac80211 may call us with vif == NULL, if the station is not currently
active (e.g., not associated). It is trivially easy to reproduce a crash
by suspending the system when not connected to an AP:
