iwlwifi: dvm: fix calling ieee80211_chswitch_done() with NULL
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If channel switch is pending and we remove interface we can
crash like showed below due to passing NULL vif to mac80211:

This is because we nulify ctx->vif in iwlagn_mac_remove_interface()
before calling some other functions that teardown interface. To fix
just check ctx->vif on iwl_chswitch_done(). We should not call
ieee80211_chswitch_done() as channel switch works were already canceled
by mac80211 in ieee80211_do_stop() -> ieee80211_mgd_stop().
