RE: [PATCH 3.12] mwifiex: queue main work from main process when bailing on races

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

 



Hi Daniel,

> Queue main_work in case mwifiex_main_process() bails due to an already
> processed transaction. This is particularly necessary because
> mwifiex_main_process() is called from both the SDIO interrupt handler and
> the workqueue. In case an interrupt occurs while the main process is
> currently executed from the workqueue, the interrupt is lost, resulting in a
> command timeout and consequently a card reset.

> the issue appears since 601216e12c ("mwifiex: process RX packets in SDIO
> IRQ thread directly") went in.
