The mesh_neighbour_update() function, queued via beacon rx, can race with userspace creating the same station. If the station already exists by the time mesh_neighbour_update() is called, the function wrongly assumes rate control has been initialized and calls rate_control_rate_update(), which in turn calls into the driver. Updating the rate control before it has been initialized can cause a crash in some drivers, for example this firmware crash in ath10k due to sta->rx_nss being 0: [ 3078.088247] mesh0: Inserted STA 5c:e2:8c:f1:ab:ba [ 3078.258407] ath10k_pci 0000:0d:00.0: firmware crashed!

We can also drop the unnecessary insert parameter here. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <bobcopeland@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
