wifi: mac80211: agg-tx: prevent start/stop race
There were crashes reported in this code, and the timer_shutdown() warning in one of the previous patches indicates that the timeout timer for the AP response (addba_resp_timer) is still armed while we're stopping the aggregation session. After a very long deliberation of the code, so far the only way I could find that might cause this would be the following sequence: - session start requested - session start indicated to driver, but driver returns IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START_DELAY_ADDBA - session stop requested, sets HT_AGG_STATE_WANT_STOP - session stop worker runs ___ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session(), sets HT_AGG_STATE_STOPPING From here on, the order doesn't matter exactly, but: 1. driver calls ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe(), setting HT_AGG_STATE_START_CB 2. driver calls ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe(), setting HT_AGG_STATE_STOP_CB 3. the worker will run ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb() for HT_AGG_STATE_START_CB 4. the worker will run ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb() for HT_AGG_STATE_STOP_CB (the order could also be 1./3./2./4.) This will cause ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb() to send out the AddBA request frame to the AP and arm the timer, but we're already in the middle of stopping and so the ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb() will no longer assume it needs to stop anything. Prevent this by checking for WANT_STOP/STOPPING in the start CB, and warn if we're sending a frame on a stopping session.
