    Subject[ 161/187] mac80211: fix queues stuck issue with HT bandwidth change
    Date
    From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

    3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------


    From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

    No upstream commit, the buggy code was removed in 3.5 in commit
    7213cf2cb0dfbb4d6b55a1da000d34338f76c0e3 and others.

    Rajkumar changed code for handling channel switching in
    mac80211 to stop the queues in

    mac80211: Fix regression on queue stop during 2040 bss change

    which went into 3.2. In the 3.4 cycle, Paul's change

    commit 3117bbdb7899d43927c8ce4fe885ab7c1231c121
    Author: Paul Stewart <pstew@chromium.org>

    mac80211: Don't let regulatory make us deaf

    went in and changed the TX/RX enable logic, but now
    the conditions for stopping and restarting the queues
    were different so that now, if the AP changes between
    20/40 MHz bandwidth, it can happen that we stop but
    never restart the queues. This breaks the connection
    and the module actually has to be reloaded to get it
    back to work.

    Fix this by making sure the queues are always started
    when they were stopped.
