Subject: [PATCH 2.6.32] mac80211: fix addba timer
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:34:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1256801640.3865.42.camel@johannes.local> (raw)
The addba timer function acquires the sta spinlock,
but at the same time we try to del_timer_sync() it
under the spinlock which can produce deadlocks.
To fix this, always del_timer_sync() the timer in
ieee80211_process_addba_resp() and add it again
after checking the conditions, if necessary.

Looks like I forgot to send this when I made it and then hid it in the
middle of my patch pile and forgot!
