+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: properly free requested-but-not-started TX agg
+ sessions
+
+When deleting a station or otherwise tearing down all aggregation
+sessions, make sure to delete requested but not yet started ones,
+to avoid the following scenario:
+
+ * session is requested, added to tid_start_tx[]
+ * ieee80211_ba_session_work() runs, gets past BLOCK_BA check
+ * ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions() runs, locks &sta->ampdu_mlme.mtx,
+ e.g. while deleting the station - deleting all active sessions
+ * ieee80211_ba_session_work() continues since tear down flushes it, and
+ calls ieee80211_tx_ba_session_handle_start() for the new session, arms
+ the timer for it
+ * station deletion continues to __cleanup_single_sta() and frees the
+ session struct, while the timer is armed
