In case of authentication/association timeout (as detected in ieee80211_iface_work->ieee80211_sta_work), ieee80211_destroy_auth_data is called. At the beginning of it, the pointer to ifmgd::auth_data memory is copied to a local variable. If iface_work is queued again during the execution of the current one, and then the driver is flushing the wiphy_works (for its needs), ieee80211_destroy_auth_data will run again and free auth_data. Then when the execution of the original worker continues, the previously copied pointer will be freed, causing a kernel bug: kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:553! (double free) Same for association timeout (just with ieee80211_destroy_assoc_data and ifmgd::assoc_data) Fix this by NULLifying auth/assoc data right after we copied the pointer to it. That way, even in the scenario above, the code will not handle the same timeout twice.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
