Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: discard undersized packets
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2018 11:14:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180117101405.16700-1-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)

Sometimes the hardware will push small packets that trigger a WARN_ON
in mac80211. Discard them early to avoid this issue.

Reported-by: Stijn Tintel <stijn@linux-ipv6.be>
