The monitor_work and beacon_connection_loss_work items were
not being canceled on disassociation (and not on deletion
either).  This leads to work-items trying to run after memory
has been deleted.
[skip]

+	/* Make sure some work items will not run after this.

+	cancel_work_sync(&ifmgd->monitor_work);
+	cancel_work_sync(&ifmgd->beacon_connection_loss_work);

Other works should be canceled as well. Ben, could you repost
this patch with proper comment?

At least in 3.7 kernel, this seems to be all that is needed.

I don't have much time to work on this now...

Thanks,
Ben
