ath9k: prevent aggregation session deadlocks Waiting for all subframes of an existing aggregation session to drain before allowing mac80211 to start a new one is fragile and deadlocks caused by this behavior have been observed. Since mac80211 has proper synchronization for aggregation session start/stop handling, a better approach to session handling is to simply allow mac80211 to start a new session at any time. This requires changing the code to discard any packets outside of the BlockAck window in the A-MPDU software retry code. This patch implements the above and also simplifies the code.
