Yeah, if it happens under load that is consistent with packets being queued. It seems that mac80211 frees the netdevs of an interface before flushing the TXQs, which may be the cause of the bug you are seeing. Could you try the patch below and see if that fixes the issue? -Toke diff --git a/net/mac80211/main.c b/net/mac80211/main.c index e65c2abb2a54..d21ef14d327d 100644 --- a/net/mac80211/main.c +++ b/net/mac80211/main.c @@ -1213,6 +1213,7 @@ void ieee80211_unregister_hw(struct ieee80211_hw *hw) #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) unregister_inet6addr_notifier(&local->ifa6_notifier); #endif + ieee80211_txq_teardown_flows(local); rtnl_lock(); @@ -1241,7 +1242,6 @@ void ieee80211_unregister_hw(struct ieee80211_hw *hw) skb_queue_purge(&local->skb_queue); skb_queue_purge(&local->skb_queue_unreliable); skb_queue_purge(&local->skb_queue_tdls_chsw); - ieee80211_txq_teardown_flows(local); destroy_workqueue(local->workqueue); wiphy_unregister(local->hw.wiphy);
