The ieee80211_queue_stopped() expects hw queue number but it was given raw WMM AC number instead. This could cause frame drops and problems with traffic in some cases - most notably if driver doesn't map AC numbers to queue numbers 1:1 and uses ieee80211_stop_queues() and ieee80211_wake_queue() only without ever calling ieee80211_wake_queues(). On ath10k it was possible to hit this problem in the following case: 1. wlan0 uses queue 0 (ath10k maps queues per vif) 2. offchannel uses queue 15 3. queues 1-14 are unused 4. ieee80211_stop_queues() 5. ieee80211_wake_queue(q=0) 6. ieee80211_wake_queue(q=15) (other queues are not woken up because both driver and mac80211 know other queues are unused) 7. ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding() 8. ieee80211_select_queue_80211() returns 2 9. ieee80211_queue_stopped(q=2) returns true 10. frame is dropped (oops!)
