I had a chance to try your latest patch on a different machine and AP. This time,
I was using 130 or so stations, but no encryption (no supplicant).
I saw these exceptions below. The warn-on hits the !stopped check in ath_stoprecv.
The system didn't crash, but all of the STAs soon dis-associated because of "inactivity".
I haven't checked if that is some issue with my AP or what..
bool ath_stoprecv(struct ath_softc *sc)
{
struct ath_hw *ah = sc->sc_ah;
bool stopped;
spin_lock_bh(&sc->rx.rxbuflock);
ath9k_hw_stoppcurecv(ah);
ath9k_hw_setrxfilter(ah, 0);
stopped = ath9k_hw_stopdmarecv(ah);
if (sc->sc_ah->caps.hw_caps & ATH9K_HW_CAP_EDMA)
ath_edma_stop_recv(sc);
else
sc->rx.rxlink = NULL;
spin_unlock_bh(&sc->rx.rxbuflock);
WARN_ON(!stopped);
return stopped;
}
