Station structure is considered as not uploaded (to driver) until drv_sta_state() finishes. This call is however done after the structure is attached to mac80211 internal lists and hashes. This means mac80211 can lookup (and use) station structure before it is uploaded to a driver. If this happens (structure exists, but sta->uploaded is false) fast_tx path can still be taken. Deep in the fastpath call the sta->uploaded is checked against to derive "pubsta" argument for ieee80211_get_txq(). If sta->uploaded is false (and sta is actually non-NULL) ieee80211_get_txq() effectively downgraded to vif->txq. At first glance this may look innocent but coerces mac80211 into a state that is almost guaranteed (codel may drop offending skb) to crash because a station-oriented skb gets queued up on vif-oriented txq. The ieee80211_tx_dequeue() ends up looking at info->control.flags and tries to use txq->sta which in the fail case is NULL. It's probably pointless to pretend one can downgrade skb from sta-txq to vif-txq. Since downgrading unicast traffic to vif->txq must not be done there's no txq to put a frame on if sta->uploaded is false. Therefore the code is made to fall back to regular tx() op path if the described condition is hit. Only drivers using wake_tx_queue were affected.
