[22/45] mac80211: fix race condition caused by late addBA response

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Dec 16 2011 - 15:01:30 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Nikolay Martynov <mar.kolya@xxxxxxxxx>

Upstream commit d305a6557b2c4dca0110f05ffe745b1ef94adb80.

If addBA responses comes in just after addba_resp_timer has
expired mac80211 will still accept it and try to open the
aggregation session. This causes drivers to be confused and
in some cases even crash.

This patch fixes the race condition and makes sure that if
addba_resp_timer has expired addBA response is not longer
accepted and we do not try to open half-closed session.
