In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw88: use ieee80211_purge_tx_queue() to purge TX skb When removing kernel modules by: rmmod rtw88_8723cs rtw88_8703b rtw88_8723x rtw88_sdio rtw88_core Driver uses skb_queue_purge() to purge TX skb, but not report tx status causing "Have pending ack frames!" warning. Use ieee80211_purge_tx_queue() to correct this. Since ieee80211_purge_tx_queue() doesn't take locks, to prevent racing between TX work and purge TX queue, flush and destroy TX work in advance. wlan0: deauthenticating from aa:f5:fd:60:4c:a8 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) ------------[ cut here ]------------ Have pending ack frames!
