Emmanuel Grumbach a600852a9d iwlwifi: mvm: don't WARN when a legit race happens in A-MPDU
When we start an Rx A-MPDU session, we first get the AddBA
request, then we send an ADD_STA command to the firmware
that will reply with a BAID which is a hardware resource
that tracks the BA session.
This BAID will appear on each and every frame that we get
from the firwmare until the A-MPDU session is torn down.
In the Rx path, we look at this BAID to manage the
reordering buffer.

This flow is inherently racy since the hardware will start
to put the BAID in the frames it receives even if the
firmware hasn't sent the response to the ADD_STA command.
This basically means that the driver can get frames with
a valid BAID that it doesn't know yet.
When that happens, the driver used to WARN.
Fix this by simply not WARN in this case. When the driver
will know abou the BAID, it will initialise the relevant
states and the next frame with a valid BAID will refresh
them.

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.
