[patch 08/71] mac80211: fix panic when splicing unprepared TIDs

[Greg KH]

2.6.30-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 416fbdff2137e8d8cc8f23f517bee3a26b11526f upstream.

We splice skbs from the pending queue for a TID
onto the local pending queue when tearing down a
block ack request. This is not necessary unless we
actually have received a request to start a block ack
request (rate control, for example). If we never received
that request we should not be splicing the tid pending
queue as it would be null, causing a panic.

Not sure yet how exactly we allowed through a call when the
tid state does not have at least HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK set,
that will require some further review as it is not quite
obvious.

For more information see the bug report:
