[PATCH v3] brcmfmac: Decrease 8021x_cnt for dropped packets

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

 



From: Per Forlin <per.forlin@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch resolves an issue where pend_8021x_cnt was not decreased
on txfinalize. This caused brcmf_netdev_wait_pend8021x to timeout
because the counter indicated pending packets.

WARNING: at .../brcmfmac/core.c:1289 brcmf_netdev_wait_pend8021x

  (warn_slowpath_null)

The solution is to pull back the header offset in case
of an error in txdata(), which may happen in case of
packet overload in brcmf_sdio_bus_txdata.

Overloading an WLAN interface is not an unlikely scenario.
In case of packet overload the error print "out of bus->txq"
is very verbose. To reduce SPAM degrade it to a debug print.

Change log:
 v2 - Add variable to know whether the counter is increased or not
 v3 - txfinalize should decrease the counter. Adjust skb header offset
