commit 4a2d4496 upstream.

While commit 6a01afcf ("mac80211: mesh: Free ie data when leaving
mesh") fixed a memory leak on mesh leave / teardown it introduced a
potential memory corruption caused by a double free when rejoining the
mesh:

  ieee80211_leave_mesh()
  -> kfree(sdata->u.mesh.ie);
  ...
  ieee80211_join_mesh()
  -> copy_mesh_setup()
     -> old_ie = ifmsh->ie;
     -> kfree(old_ie);

This double free / kernel panics can be reproduced by using wpa_supplicant
with an encrypted mesh (if set up without encryption via "iw" then
ifmsh->ie is always NULL, which avoids this issue). And then calling:

  $ iw dev mesh0 mesh leave
  $ iw dev mesh0 mesh join my-mesh

Note that typically these commands are not used / working when using
wpa_supplicant. And it seems that wpa_supplicant or wpa_cli are going
through a NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UP cycle between a mesh leave and mesh join
where the NETDEV_UP resets the mesh.ie to NULL ...
