ath9k: stop on rates with idx -1 in ath9k rate control's .tx_status
commit 2504a6423b9ab4c36df78227055995644de19edb upstream. Rate control algorithms are supposed to stop processing when they encounter a rate with the index -1. Checking for rate->count not being zero is not enough. Allowing a rate with negative index leads to memory corruption in ath_debug_stat_rc(). One consequence of the bug is discussed at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768639 Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: John W.
