![]() Before dumping tx_stats proper validation was not been taken care of. Due to which we were encountering null pointer dereference(kernel panic). This scenario will arise when a station is getting disconnected and we are changing the STA state by ath11k_mac_op_sta_state and assigning tx_stats as NULL and after this the mac80211 will destroy the debugfs entry from where we are trying to read the stats. If anyone tries to dump tx_stats for that STA in between setting tx_stats to NULL and debugfs file removal without checking the NULL value it will run into a NULL pointer exception. Proceeding with the analysis of "ARM Kernel Panic". The APSS crash happened due to OOPS on CPU 3. Crash Signature : Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000360 During the crash, PC points to "ath11k_debug_htt_stats_init+0x16ac/0x1acc [ath11k]" LR points to "ath11k_debug_htt_stats_init+0x1688/0x1acc [ath11k]".
