[ 046/122] mac80211: fix crash with single-queue drivers

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Aug 07 2012 - 18:29:22 EST


From: Greg KH <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

commit a6f38ac3cc853189705006cc1e0f17ce8467a1df upstream.

Larry (and some others I think) reported that with
single-queue drivers mac80211 crashes when waking
the queues. This happens because we allocate just
a single queue for each virtual interface in case
the driver doesn't have at least 4 queues, but the
code stopping/waking the virtual interface queues
wasn't taking this into account.
