wifi: mac80211: fix BA session teardown race
As previously reported by Alexander, whose commit 69403bad97aa ("wifi: mac80211: sdata can be NULL during AMPDU start") I'm reverting as part of this commit, there's a race between station destruction and aggregation setup, where the aggregation setup can happen while the station is being removed and queue the work after ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions() has already run in __sta_info_destroy_part1(), and thus the worker will run with a now freed station. In his case, this manifested in a NULL sdata pointer, but really there's no guarantee whatsoever. The real issue seems to be that it's possible at all to have a situation where this occurs - we want to stop the BA sessions when doing _part1, but we cannot be sure, and WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA isn't necessarily effective since we don't know that the setup isn't concurrently running and already got past the check. Simply call ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions() again in the second part of station destruction, since at that point really nothing else can hold a reference to the station any more. Also revert the sdata checks since those are just misleading at this point. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
