[PATCH 4.4 126/312] mac80211: fix mgmt-tx abort cookie and leak

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri May 08 2020 - 09:20:07 EST


From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

commit e673a65952b4ab045a3e3eb200fdf408004fb4fd upstream.

If a mgmt-tx operation is aborted before it runs, the wrong
cookie is reported back to userspace, and the ack_skb gets
leaked since the frame is freed directly instead of freeing
it using ieee80211_free_txskb(). Fix that.
