+Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: Protect queue draining by rcu_read_lock()
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+When ath9k was switched over to use the mac80211 intermediate queues,
+node cleanup now drains the mac80211 queues. However, this call path is
+not protected by rcu_read_lock() as it was previously entirely internal
+to the driver which uses its own locking.
+
+This leads to a possible rcu_dereference() without holding
+rcu_read_lock(); but only if a station is cleaned up while having
+packets queued on the TXQ. Fix this by adding the rcu_read_lock() to the
+caller in ath9k.
+
+Fixes: 50f08edf9809 ("ath9k: Switch to using mac80211 intermediate software queues.")
