2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>
commit b25026981aecde3685dd0e45ad980fff9f528daa upstream.
Since
commit a120e912eb51e347f36c71b60a1d13af74d30e83 Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Date: Fri Feb 19 15:47:33 2010 -0800
iwlwifi: sanity check before counting number of tfds can be free
we use skb->data after calling ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe(), which could free skb instantly.
On current kernels I do not observe practical problems related with bug, but on 2.6.35.y it cause random system hangs when stressing wireless link.
