Emmanuel Grumbach 61dd8a8a6a iwlwifi: mvm: fix a NULL pointer dereference of error in recovery
Sometimes, we can have an firmware crash while trying to
recover from a previous firmware problem.
When that happens, lots of things can go wrong. For example
the stations don't get added properly to mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id.

Mac80211 tries to stop A-MPDU upon reconfig but in case of
a firmware crash we will bail out fairly early and in the
end, we won't delete the A-MPDU Rx timeout.
When that timer expired after a double firmware crash,
we end up dereferencing mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id[sta_id]
which is NULL.

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.
