+/**
+ * DOC: STA information lifetime rules
+ *
+ * STA info structures (&struct sta_info) are managed in a hash table
+ * for faster lookup and a list for iteration. They are managed using
+ * RCU, i.e. access to the list and hash table is protected by RCU.
+ *
+ * Upon allocating a STA info structure with sta_info_alloc(), the caller owns
+ * that structure. It must then either destroy it using sta_info_destroy()
+ * (which is pretty useless) or insert it into the hash table using
+ * sta_info_insert() which demotes the reference from ownership to a regular
+ * RCU-protected reference; if the function is called without protection by an
+ * RCU critical section the reference is instantly invalidated.
+ *
+ * Because there are debugfs entries for each station, and adding those
+ * must be able to sleep, it is also possible to "pin" a station entry,
+ * that means it can be removed from the hash table but not be freed.
+ * See the comment in __sta_info_unlink() for more information.
+ *
+ * In order to remove a STA info structure, the caller needs to first
+ * unlink it (sta_info_unlink()) from the list and hash tables and
+ * then wait for an RCU synchronisation before it can be freed. Due to
+ * the pinning and the possibility of multiple callers trying to remove
+ * the same STA info at the same time, sta_info_unlink() can clear the
+ * STA info pointer it is passed to indicate that the STA info is owned
+ * by somebody else now.
+ *
+ * If sta_info_unlink() did not clear the pointer then the caller owns
+ * the STA info structure now and is responsible of destroying it with
+ * a call to sta_info_destroy(), not before RCU synchronisation, of
+ * course. Note that sta_info_destroy() must be protected by the RTNL.
+ *
+ * In all other cases, there is no concept of ownership on a STA entry,
+ * each structure is owned by the global hash table/list until it is
+ * removed. All users of the structure need to be RCU protected so that
+ * the structure won't be freed before they are done using it.
