This will cause the list node immediately following\nthe list head to become an invalid list node. Because the prev of that node\nstill points to the list head \"arvifs\", but the next of the list head\n\"arvifs\" no longer points to that list node.\n\nWhen a WLAN recovery occurs during the execution of a vif removal, and it\nhappens before the spin_lock_bh(&ar->data_lock) in\nath12k_mac_vdev_delete(), list_del() will detect the previously mentioned\nsituation, thereby triggering a kernel panic.\n\nThe fix is to remove and reinitialize all vif list nodes from the list head\n\"arvifs\" during WLAN halt. The reinitialization is to make the list nodes\nvalid, ensuring that the list_del() in ath12k_mac_vdev_delete() can execute\nnormally.\n\nCall trace:\n__list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0xd4/0x100
