As the comment\nindicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action\ncallback must already exist when the state is !\u003d IDLE.\n\nThe second problem isn\u0027t easily exploitable but there\u0027s a\nrace condition due to unconditionally setting the state to\nOPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no\naggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers\naccept stopping the session even then, but that opens a\nrace window where crashes could happen before the driver\naccepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT\ndrivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.\n\nFor this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:\n 1) don\u0027t process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful\n about the session state; don\u0027t drop the lock\n\n 2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop\n even before the session was really started -- this is\n true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but\n iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers\n (ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.\n\nReported-by: Lennert Buytenhek \u003cbuytenh@marvell.com\u003e\nCc: stable@kernel.org\nSigned-off-by: Johannes Berg \u003cjohannes@sipsolutions.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: John W.

Normally this isn\u0027t a problem,\nbut with the iwlwifi mechanism we need to make\nsure the race doesn\u0027t happen.\n\nThis makes mac80211 able to cope with the race\nwith driver help by a new WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER\nper-station flag that can be controlled by the\ndriver and tells mac80211 whether it can transmit\nframes or not. This flag must be set according to\nvery specific rules outlined in the documentation\nfor the function that controls it.\n\nWhen we buffer new frames for the station, we\nnormally set the TIM bit right away, but while\nthe driver has blocked transmission to that sta\nwe need to avoid that as well since we cannot\nrespond to the station if it wakes up due to the\nTIM bit. Once the driver unblocks, we can set\nthe TIM bit.\n\nSimilarly, when the station just wakes up, we\nneed to wait until all other frames are flushed\nbefore we can transmit frames to that station,\nso the same applies here, we need to wait for\nthe driver to give the OK.\n\nSigned-off-by: Johannes Berg \u003cjohannes@sipsolutions.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: John W.
