      ath9k: fix BUG_ON triggered by PAE frames · 4fdec031
      Felix Fietkau authored
      When I initially stumbled upon sequence number problems with PAE frames
      in ath9k, I submitted a patch to remove all special cases for PAE
      frames and let them go through the normal transmit path.
      Out of concern about crypto incompatibility issues, this change was
      merged instead:
      
      commit 6c8afef5

          ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames
      
      After a lot of testing, I'm able to reliably trigger a driver crash on
      rekeying with current versions with this change in place.
      It seems that the driver does not support sending out regular MPDUs with
      the same TID while an A-MPDU session is active.
      This leads to duplicate entries in the TID Tx buffer, which hits the
      following BUG_ON in ath_tx_addto_baw():
      
          index  = ATH_BA_INDEX(tid->seq_start, bf->bf_seqno);
          cindex = (tid->baw_head + index) & (ATH_TID_MAX_BUFS - 1);
      
          BUG_ON(tid->tx_buf[cindex] != NULL);
      
      I believe until we actually have a reproducible case of an
      incompatibility with another AP using no PAE special cases, we should
      simply get rid of this mess.
      
      This patch completely fixes my crash issues in STA mode and makes it
      stay connected without throughput drops or connectivity issues even
      when the AP is configured to a very short group rekey interval.

      wl1251: fix potential crash · 3f60ebc9

      In case debugfs does not init for some reason (or is disabled
      on older kernels) driver does not allocate stats.fw_stats
      structure, but tries to clear it later and trips on a NULL
      pointer:
      
      Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

      Add a NULL pointer check to fix this.
