   </p><p>

   A station table entry represents a station we are possibly
   communicating with. Since stations are RCU-managed in
   mac80211, any ieee80211_sta pointer you get access to must
   either be protected by <code class="function">rcu_read_lock</code> explicitly or implicitly,
   or you must take good care to not use such a pointer after a
   call to your sta_remove callback that removed it.
