From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When mac80211 goes to suspend we disarm our timers but users of mod_timer() must ensure to use mod_timer_pending() where appropriate to avoid re-arming them before coming up after suspend. This is one case that was reported by Parag. Issue reported: WARNING: at net/mac80211/util.c:599 ieee80211_can_queue_work.isra.7+0x32/0x40 [mac80211]() Hardware name: iMac12,1 queueing ieee80211 work while going to suspend Pid: 0, comm: swapper/0 Tainted: PF O 3.8.2-206.fc18.x86_64 #1 Call Trace: Mar 16 09:39:17 Parags-iMac kernel: [ 3993.642992] <IRQ> [<ffffffff8105e61f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffffa0581420>] ? ath_start_rx_poll+0x70/0x70 [ath9k] <ffffffff8105e716>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [<ffffffffa045b542>] ieee80211_can_queue_work.isra.7+0x32/0x40 Other timers on 802.11 drivers, mac80211 and cfg80211 should be groomed to verify the same is avoided.
