[PATCH 01/10] iwlwifi: read the Rx write pointer only once

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>

The FH (DMA engine) tells the driver the index of the last
ready (closed) Rx buffer. This data is in closed_rb_num.
If we read this data several times we may get inconsistencies
between the code and the debug prints which can make it
harder to debug issues here.
