From: Ben Greear <[email protected]> My wave-1 firmware often crashes when I am bringing down AP vdevs, and sometimes at least some machines lockup hard after spewing IOMMU errors.
I don't see the same issue in STA mode, so I suspect beacons are the issue. Moving the beacon buf deletion to later in the vdev teardown logic appears to help this problem. Firmware still crashes often, but several iterations did not show IOMMU errors and machine didn't hang.
