[PATCH 4.19 121/361] iwlwifi: mvm: fix BAR seq ctrl reporting

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 19:09:34 EST


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

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

From: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 941ab4eb66c10bc5c7234e83a7a858b2806ed151 ]

There is a bug in FW where the sequence control may be
incorrect, and the driver overrides it with the value
of the ieee80211 header.

However, in BAR there is no sequence control in the header,
which result with arbitrary sequence.

This access to an unknown location is bad and it makes the
logs very confusing - so fix it.
