[PATCH] rt2x00: do not pause queue on flush

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

 



Pausing queue on flush make no sense since txdone procedure un-pause
queue. Before flush procedure we have to assure queue is stopped,
i.e. on receive path h/w RX is disabled, on transmit path queue is
disabled in mac80211. That conditions are true except one function:
rt2x00usb_watchdog_tx_dma(), so add stop/start queue there.

Note stop/start queue can be racy if we do this from multiple paths,
but currently we stop TX queues only on rt2x00lib_disable_radio(),
which also stop/sync watchdog, hance we have no race condition.
