   4 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: sta: randomize BA session dialog token allocator
   5
   6 We currently always start the dialog token generator at zero,
   7 so the first dialog token we use is always 1. This would be
   8 OK if we had a perfect guarantee that we always do a proper
   9 deauth/re-auth handshake, but in IBSS mode this doesn't always
  10 happen properly.
  11
  12 To make problems with block ack (aggregation) sessions getting
  13 stuck less likely, randomize the dialog token so if we start a
  14 new session but the peer still has old state for us, it can
  15 better detect this.
  16
  17 This is really just a workaround to make things a bit more
  18 robust than they are now - a better fix would be to do a full
  19 authentication handshake in IBSS mode upon having discovered a
  20 new station, and on the receiver resetting the state (removing
  21 and re-adding the station) on receiving the authentication
  22 packet.
