[ Upstream commit3aa42bae9c] The mwifiex_cfg80211_dump_station() uses static variable for iterating over a linked list of all associated stations (when the driver is in UAP role). This has a race condition if .dump_station is called in parallel for multiple interfaces. This corruption can be triggered by registering multiple SSIDs and calling, in parallel for multiple interfaces iw dev <iface> station dump [16750.719775] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dead000000000110 ...

It would be better to convert the code not to use linked list for associated stations storage (since the chip has a limited number of associated stations anyway - it could just be an array). Such a change may be proposed in the future. In the meantime this patch can backported into stable kernels in this simple form.

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.
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.
