[PATCH v2 2/5] wifi: ath11k: avoid IDR mutation during pending mgmt TX cleanup
From: Jiale Yao
Date: Sat Oct 03 2026 - 05:25:19 EST
The pending management TX cleanup walks txmgmt_idr with idr_for_each(),
and its callback removes the current entry. This can invalidate the
radix-tree iterator retained by idr_for_each().
Use idr_for_each_entry() so every iteration starts with a fresh lookup.
Continue to remove each entry under txmgmt_idr_lock before freeing its skb,
preventing concurrent TX completion from finding a stale skb pointer.
Fixes: d5c65159f289 ("ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices")
