What about 'pool_index >= MAX_PKT_NUM_IN_TRANSFER' just to be on the
safe side? Ah, but then error handling won't work:
Get that.
err:
        for (i = 0; i < pool_index; i++) {
                RX_STAT_ADD(skb_completed_bytes, skb_pool[i]->len);
                ath9k_htc_rx_msg(hif_dev->htc_handle, skb_pool[i],
                                 skb_pool[i]->len, USB_WLAN_RX_PIPE);
                RX_STAT_INC(skb_completed);
        }

Maybe that should use 'min(pool_index, MAX_PKT_NUM_IN_TRANSFER - 1)' or
something? Or maybe it's just overengineerin, dunno.
I will take a deeper look, thanks.
