mac80211: fix race condition caused by late addBA response
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If addBA responses comes in just after addba_resp_timer has
expired mac80211 will still accept it and try to open the
aggregation session. This causes drivers to be confused and
in some cases even crash.

This patch fixes the race condition and makes sure that if
addba_resp_timer has expired addBA response is not longer
accepted and we do not try to open half-closed session.
