+Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Fix kernel panic while using worker
+ (ath10k_sta_rc_update_wk)
+
+When attempt to run worker (ath10k_sta_rc_update_wk) after the station object
+(ieee80211_sta) delete will trigger the kernel panic.
+
+This problem arise in AP + Mesh configuration, Where the current node AP VAP
+and neighbor node mesh VAP MAC address are same. When the current mesh node
+try to establish the mesh link with neighbor node, driver peer creation for
+the neighbor mesh node fails due to duplication MAC address. Already the AP
+VAP created with same MAC address.
+
+It is caused by the following scenario steps.
+
+Steps:
+1. In above condition, ath10k driver sta_state callback (ath10k_sta_state)
+ fails to do the state change for a station from IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST
+ to IEEE80211_STA_NONE due to peer creation fails. Sta_state callback is
+ called from ieee80211_add_station() to handle the new station
+ (neighbor mesh node) request from the wpa_supplicant.
+2. Concurrently ath10k receive the sta_rc_update callback notification from
+ the mesh_neighbour_update() to handle the beacon frames of the above
+ neighbor mesh node. since its atomic callback, ath10k driver queue the
+ work (ath10k_sta_rc_update_wk) to handle rc update.
+3. Due to driver sta_state callback fails (step 1), mac80211 free the station
+ object.
+4. When the worker (ath10k_sta_rc_update_wk) scheduled to run, it will access
+ the station object which is already deleted. so it will trigger kernel
+ panic.
+
+Added the peer exist check in sta_rc_update callback before queue the work.
+
