You store the sta pointer in struct skb_frame_desc, but I don't see anything that guarantees that the sta will be around for as long as the tx frame is held. I think a better approach would be to not store the sta pointer in skb_frame_desc at all. Instead, add a driver callback to look up the sta by wcid, and use rcu properly there. Make sure you only hold the sta pointer obtained from that call within a RCU read locked section.
