Subject: [PATCH 4.7 037/141] mac80211: check skb_linearize() return value

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit 0b97a484e52cb423662eb98904aad82dafcc1f10 upstream.

The A-MSDU TX code (within TXQs) didn't always check the return value
of skb_linearize() properly, resulting in potentially passing a frag-
list SKB down to the driver even when it said it can't handle it. Fix
that.
