Johannes Berg 7a7c0a6438 mac80211: fix TX aggregation start/stop callback race
When starting or stopping an aggregation session, one of the steps
is that the driver calls back to mac80211 that the start/stop can
proceed. This is handled by queueing up a fake SKB and processing
it from the normal iface/sdata work. Since this isn't flushed when
disassociating, the following race is possible:

 * associate
 * start aggregation session
 * driver callback
 * disassociate
 * associate again to the same AP
 * callback processing runs, leading to a WARN_ON() that
   the TID hadn't requested aggregation

If the second association isn't to the same AP, there would only
be a message printed ("Could not find station: <addr>"), but the
same race could happen.

Fix this by not going the whole detour with a fake SKB etc. but
simply looking up the aggregation session in the driver callback,
marking it with a START_CB/STOP_CB bit and then scheduling the
regular aggregation work that will now process these bits as well.
This also simplifies the code and gets rid of the whole problem
with allocation failures of said skb, which could have left the
session in limbo.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
