[PATCH 2/5] ath9k: fix an aggregation start related race condition

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A new aggregation session start can be issued by mac80211, even when the
cleanup of the previous session has not completed yet. Since the data structure
for the session is not recreated, this could corrupt the block ack window
and lock up the aggregation session. Fix this by delaying the new session
until the old one has been cleaned up.
