This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled iwlwifi: mvm: inc pending frames counter also when txing non-sta to the linux-3.19.y-queue branch of the 3.19.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.19.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.19.8-ckt17. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.19.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From a30a4a9181d401723a57a0a86c9f9f53c01ddc4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liad Kaufman <liad.kaufman@intel.com> Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2016 15:32:58 +0200 Subject: iwlwifi: mvm: inc pending frames counter also when txing non-sta commit fb896c44f88a75843a072cd6961b1615732f7811 upstream. Until this patch, when TXing non-sta the pending_frames counter wasn't increased, but it WAS decreased in iwl_mvm_rx_tx_cmd_single(), what makes it negative in certain conditions. This in turn caused much trouble when we need to remove the station since we won't be waiting forever until pending_frames gets 0. In certain cases, we were exhausting the station table even in BSS mode, because we had a lot of stale stations. Increase the counter also in iwl_mvm_tx_skb_non_sta() after a successful TX to avoid this outcome.
