Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: another fix for the A-MPDU buffer leak
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2010 23:16:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C3B8632.20305@openwrt.org> (raw)
The patch 'ath9k: fix a buffer leak in A-MPDU completion' addressed the
issue of running out of buffers/descriptors in the tx path if a STA is
deleted while tx status feedback is still pending.
The remaining issue is that the skbs of the buffers are not reclaimed,
leaving a memory leak.
This patch fixes this issue by running the buffers through
ath_tx_complete_buf(), ensuring that the pending frames counter is also
updated.
