Subject: mac80211: fix suspend vs. authentication race
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 1a1cb744de160ee70086a77afff605bbc275d291 upstream.
Since Stanislaw's patch removing the quiescing code, mac80211 had
a race regarding suspend vs. authentication: as cfg80211 doesn't
track authentication attempts, it can't abort them. Therefore the
attempts may be kept running while suspending, which can lead to
all kinds of issues, in at least some cases causing an error in
iwlmvm firmware.
Fix this by aborting the authentication attempt when suspending.
Fixes: 12e7f517029d ("mac80211: cleanup generic suspend/resume procedures")
