Toke Høiland-Jørgensen a63b8d9a84 ath9k: Protect queue draining by rcu_read_lock() 
commit 182b191710 upstream.

When ath9k was switched over to use the mac80211 intermediate queues,
node cleanup now drains the mac80211 queues. However, this call path is
not protected by rcu_read_lock() as it was previously entirely internal
to the driver which uses its own locking.

This leads to a possible rcu_dereference() without holding
rcu_read_lock(); but only if a station is cleaned up while having
packets queued on the TXQ. Fix this by adding the rcu_read_lock() to the
caller in ath9k.

Fixes: 50f08edf98 ("ath9k: Switch to using mac80211 intermediate software queues.")

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
