| |
3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>
commit 81357a281dcc454841532c46b30e6f2ba12b73ea upstream.
ath_tx_setup_buffer() can fail if there is no ath_buf left, or if mapping DMA failed. In this case it frees the skb passed to it. If ath_tx_setup_buffer is called from ath_tx_form_aggr, the skb is still linked into the tid buffer list and must be dequeued before being released.
