   4 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: Don't drop tx_status when peer cannot be found
   5
   6 When a station idles for a long time, hostapd will try to send a QoS Null
   7 frame to the station as "poll". NL80211_CMD_PROBE_CLIENT is used for this
   8 purpose. And the skb will be added to ack_status_frame - waiting for a
   9 completion via ieee80211_report_ack_skb().
  10
  11 But when the peer was already removed before the tx_complete arrives, the
  12 peer will be missing. And when using dev_kfree_skb_any (instead of going
  13 through mac80211), the entry will stay inside ack_status_frames. This IDR
  14 will therefore run full after 8K request were generated for such clients.
  15 At this point, the access point will then just stall and not allow any new
  16 clients because idr_alloc() for ack_status_frame will fail.
  17
  18 ieee80211_free_txskb() on the other hand will (when required) call
  19 ieee80211_report_ack_skb() and make sure that (when required) remove the
  20 entry from the ack_status_frame.
