commit b98b33d5560a2d940f3b80f6768a6177bf3dfbc0 upstream. The iwl_trans_pcie_dyn_txq_free() function only releases the frames that may be left on the queue by calling iwl_pcie_gen2_txq_unmap(), but doesn't actually free the DMA ring or byte-count tables for the queue. This leads to pretty large memory leaks (at least before my queue size improvements), in particular in monitor/sniffer mode on channel hopping since this happens on every channel change. This was also now more evident after the move to a DMA pool for the byte count tables, showing messages such as BUG iwlwifi:bc (...): Objects remaining in iwlwifi:bc on __kmem_cache_shutdown() This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206811.

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.
