Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix panic when splicing unprepared TIDs
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:04:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1250021064-9977-1-git-send-email-lrodriguez@atheros.com> (raw)

We splice skbs from the pending queue for a TID
onto the local pending queue when tearing down a
block ack request. This is not necessary unless we
actually have received a request to start a block ack
request (rate control, for example). If we never received
that request we should not be splicing the tid pending
queue as it would be null, causing a panic.

Not sure yet how exactly we allowed through a call when the
tid state does not have at least HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK set,
that will require some further review as it is not quite
obvious.

This fixes this oops:
