[PATCH 3.12 004/104] ath9k: fix aggregation session lockup

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Wed Aug 20 2014 - 08:10:06 EST


From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit c01fac1c77a00227f706a1654317023e3f4ac7f0 upstream.

If an aggregation session fails, frames still end up in the driver queue
with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU set.
This causes tx for the affected station/tid to stall, since
ath_tx_get_tid_subframe returning packets to send.

Fix this by clearing IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU as long as no aggregation
session is running.
