Description Bob Copeland 2010-07-19 19:37:16 UTC
I'll follow up with details to reproduce if I can.  I was using ifconfig to set the IP on the interface.

[74630.112167] wlan0: No active IBSS STAs - trying to scan for other IBSS networks with same SSID (merge)

Created attachment 27164 [details]
patch to fix lockdep complaint & a race

Can you try this please?
Comment 2 Bob Copeland 2010-07-20 21:50:12 UTC
Hmm, well patch worked fine switching back and forth between ibss and station and randomly leaving the networks - that said I also couldn't figure out the right combo to reproduce the warning in the unpatched kernel.  The reasoning makes sense though.
Comment 3 Johannes Berg 2010-07-21 07:50:55 UTC
Hmm, it's possible that you have to get disconnected by the AP rather than disconnecting yourself for it to trigger.
Comment 4 Johannes Berg 2010-07-21 08:51:34 UTC
Yes, I can reproduce it that way w/o the patch, and the patch fixes it.
