[PATCH 18/25] iwlwifi: mvm: flush queues without mutex held

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

For WMM-AC we may have to be changing QoS parameters while the
queues are being flushed. This is not relevant in the "drop"
case, but matters when we wait for the device to finish the
transmissions.

To allow this, do the actual waiting without holding the mutex.
