3.5.7.2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Felix Fietkau <[email protected]> commit 8c6e30936a7893a85f6222084f0f26aceb81137a upstream. bf->bf_next is only while buffers are chained as part of an A-MPDU in the tx queue. When a tid queue is flushed (e.g. on tearing down an aggregation session), frames can be enqueued again as normal transmission, without bf_next being cleared. This can lead to the old pointer being dereferenced again later. This patch might fix crashes and "Failed to stop TX DMA!" messages.
