Subject: mac80211: fix deadlock in driver-managed RX BA session start
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit bde59c475e0883e4c4294bcd9b9c7e08ae18c828 upstream.
When an RX BA session is started by the driver, and it has to tell
mac80211 about it, the corresponding bit in tid_rx_manage_offl gets
set and the BA session work is scheduled. Upon testing this bit, it
will call __ieee80211_start_rx_ba_session(), thus deadlocking as it
already holds the ampdu_mlme.mtx, which that acquires again.
Fix this by adding ___ieee80211_start_rx_ba_session(), a version of
the function that requires the mutex already held.
Fixes: 699cb58c8a52 ("mac80211: manage RX BA session offload without SKB queue")
