I looked at this briefly:

ieee80211_ba_session_work acquires:
mutex_lock(&sta->ampdu_mlme.mtx) @
<http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.13/source/net/mac80211/ht.c#L321>

But it now also calls
__ieee80211_start_rx_ba_session() @
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.13/source/net/mac80211/ht.c#L336

which also wants to hold mutex_lock(&sta->ampdu_mlme.mtx) in:
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.13/source/net/mac80211/agg-rx.c#L314

I guess this is where it deadlocks?

Christian
