If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stanislaw Gruszka commit 21f8aaee0c62708654988ce092838aa7df4d25d8 upstream. We check tid->sched without a lock taken on ath_tx_aggr_sleep(). That is race condition which can result of doing list_del(&tid->list) twice (second time with poisoned list node) and cause crash like shown below: [424271.637220] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00100104 [424271.637328] IP: [] ath_tx_aggr_sleep+0x62/0xe0 [ath9k] ...
