      mac80211: process station blockack action frames from work · 8b9a4e6e
      Johannes Berg authored
      Processing an association response could take a bit
      of time while we set up the hardware etc. During that
      time, the AP might already send a blockack request.
      If this happens very quickly on a fairly slow machine,
      we can end up processing the blockack request before
      the association processing has finished. Since the
      blockack processing cannot sleep right now, we also
      cannot make it wait in the driver.
      
      As a result, sometimes on slow machines the iwlagn
      driver gets totally confused, and no traffic can pass
      when the aggregation setup was done before the assoc
      setup completed.
      
      I'm working on a proper fix for this, which involves
      queuing all blockack category action frames from a
      work struct, and also allowing the ampdu_action driver
      callback to sleep, which will generally clean up the
      code and make things easier.
      
      However, this is a very involved and complex change.
      To fix the problem at hand in a way that can also be
      backported to stable, I've come up with this patch.
      Here, I simply process all aggregation action frames
      from the managed interface skb queue, which means
      their processing will be serialized with processing
      the association response, thereby fixing the problem.

      Commit "ar9170: wait for asynchronous firmware loading"
      introduced a bug, which is triggered by fatal errors
      while the driver is initializing the device.
