Johannes Berg 1e65261481 mac80211: agg-tx: don't schedule_and_wake_txq() under sta->lock
[ Upstream commit 06c41bda0ea14aa7fba932a9613c4ee239682cf0 ]

When we call ieee80211_agg_start_txq(), that will in turn call
schedule_and_wake_txq(). Called from ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb()
this is done under sta->lock, which leads to certain circular
lock dependencies, as reported by Chris Murphy:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAJCQCtSXJ5qA4bqSPY=oLRMbv-irihVvP7A2uGutEbXQVkoNaw@mail.gmail.com

In general, ieee80211_agg_start_txq() is usually not called
with sta->lock held, only in this one place. But it's always
called with sta->ampdu_mlme.mtx held, and that's therefore
clearly sufficient.

Change ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb() to also call it without the
sta->lock held, by factoring it out of ieee80211_remove_tid_tx()
(which is only called in this one place).

This breaks the locking chain and makes it less likely that
we'll have similar locking chain problems in the future.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
