mac80211: fix two remote exploits
Lennert Buytenhek noticed a remotely triggerable problem in mac80211, which is due to some code shuffling I did that ended up changing the order in which things were done -- this was in commit d75636ef9c1af224f1097941879d5a8db7cd04e5 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Tue Feb 10 21:25:53 2009 +0100 mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session The problem is that the BUG_ON moved before the various checks, and as such can be triggered. As the comment indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action callback must already exist when the state is OPERATIONAL. A similar code path leads to a WARN_ON in ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session, which can also be removed.
