[PATCH 4.4 27/50] iwlwifi: mvm: inc pending frames counter also when txing non-sta

Show all headers | View raw

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

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

From: Liad Kaufman <liad.kaufman@intel.com>

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.
