Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: properly free requested-but-not-started TX agg sessions
Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2017 17:01:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171120160144.20961-1-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When deleting a station or otherwise tearing down all aggregation
sessions, make sure to delete requested but not yet started ones,
to avoid the following scenario:

 * session is requested, added to tid_start_tx[]
 * ieee80211_ba_session_work() runs, gets past BLOCK_BA check
 * ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions() runs, locks &sta->ampdu_mlme.mtx,
   e.g. while deleting the station - deleting all active sessions
 * ieee80211_ba_session_work() continues since tear down flushes it, and
   calls ieee80211_tx_ba_session_handle_start() for the new session, arms
   the timer for it
 * station deletion continues to __cleanup_single_sta() and frees the
   session struct, while the timer is armed
