Normally, all of the ieee80211_ibss_disconnect() happens together, but if ieee80211_offchannel_return() happens to hit here before SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL_BEACON_STOPPED is cleared, we might inadvertently enable beaconing while the interface is actually stopping. I'm not really sure what happens next, but perhaps the interface is going down and the beacon_int is reset to 0, or such, leading to the problem at hand. Off the top of my head, I don't really have a good idea about how to fix this - we'd want to add some more consistent locking everywhere. I assume that with the rtnl-weaning having happened, that might simply consist in aligning mac80211 to the cfg80211 wiphy mutex everywhere. johannes
