In the driver, we track which hardware queue is associated with
which mac80211 "hw_queue", in order to be able to stop and wake
it. When moving these bitmaps out of the queue_info structures,
the type of the bitmap was erroneously changed from u32 to u8,
presumably in order to save memory.
Turns out that u32 isn't needed, because the highest queue we
can ever tell mac80211 is always < 16, but a u16 definitely is
needed, queues >=8 do happen.
While at it, throw a BUILD_BUG_ON() into the place where we set
the limit (mvm->first_agg_queue) and a warning when it actually
gets put into the bitmap.
The consequence of this bug is that full HW queues associated
with such a too-high mac80211 number never stop higher layer
queues when full, and thus would simply drop all packets that
couldn't be enqueued to the hardware queue.

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.
