Subject: [PATCH v2] mac80211: fix panic when splicing unprepared TIDs
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:10:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1250021433-10153-1-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.
For more information see the bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13922
