+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Ensure vif queues are operational after start
+
+Make sure local->queue_stop_reasons and vif.txqs_stopped stay in sync.
+
+When a new vif is created the queues may end up in an inconsistent state
+and be inoperable:
+Communication not using iTXQ will work, allowing to e.g. complete the
+association. But the 4-way handshake will time out. The sta will not
+send out any skbs queued in iTXQs.
+
+All normal attempts to start the queues will fail when reaching this
+state.
+local->queue_stop_reasons will have marked all queues as operational but
+vif.txqs_stopped will still be set, creating an inconsistent internal
+state.
+
+In reality this seems to be race between the mac80211 function
+ieee80211_do_open() setting SDATA_STATE_RUNNING and the wake_txqs_tasklet:
+Depending on the driver and the timing the queues may end up to be
+operational or not.
