Subject: [PATCH 2/2] iwlagn: verify flow id in compressed BA packet
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2010 11:24:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1276539872-12440-3-git-send-email-reinette.chatre@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1276539872-12440-1-git-send-email-reinette.chatre@intel.com>
From: Shanyu Zhao <shanyu.zhao@intel.com>
The flow id (scd_flow) in a compressed BA packet should match the txq_id
of the queue from which the aggregated packets were sent. However, in
some hardware like the 1000 series, sometimes the flow id is 0 for the
txq_id (10 to 19). This can cause the annoying message:
[ 2213.306191] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Received BA when not expected
[ 2213.310178] iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Read index for DMA queue txq id (0),
index 5, is out of range [0-256] 7 7.
And even worse, if agg->wait_for_ba is true when the bad BA is arriving,
this can cause system hang due to NULL pointer dereference because the
code is operating in a wrong tx queue!
