+    mac80211: fix spurious delBA handling
+    
+    Lennert Buytenhek noticed that delBA handling in mac80211
+    was broken and has remotely triggerable problems, some of
+    which are due to some code shuffling I did that ended up
+    changing the order in which things were done -- this was
+    
+      commit d75636ef9c1af224f1097941879d5a8db7cd04e5

+        mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session
+    
+    and other parts were already present in the original

+    
+          mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support
+    
+    The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various
+    checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment
+    indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action
+    callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE.
+    
+    The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a
+    race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to
+    OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no
+    aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers
+    accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a
+    race window where crashes could happen before the driver
+    accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT
+    drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.
+    
+    For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:
+     1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful
+        about the session state; don't drop the lock
+    
+     2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop
+        even before the session was really started -- this is
+        true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but
+        iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers
+        (ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.
