From 8c6e30936a7893a85f6222084f0f26aceb81137a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:31:11 +0200 Subject: ath9k: fix stale pointers potentially causing access to free'd skbs bf->bf_next is only while buffers are chained as part of an A-MPDU in the tx queue. When a tid queue is flushed (e.g. on tearing down an aggregation session), frames can be enqueued again as normal transmission, without bf_next being cleared. This can lead to the old pointer being dereferenced again later. This patch might fix crashes and "Failed to stop TX DMA!" messages.

The client will then answer using a normal Ack instead of a BlockAck. This acknowledgement has no TID stored and therefore the hardware is not able to provide us the corresponding TID. The TID set by the hardware in the tx status descriptor has to be seen as undefined and not as a valid TID value for normal acknowledgements. Doing otherwise results in a massive amount of retransmissions and stalls of connections. Users may experience low bandwidth and complete connection stalls in environments with transfers using multiple TIDs. This regression was introduced in b11b160defc48e4daa283f785192ea3a23a51f8e ("ath9k: validate the TID in the tx status information").
