[PATCH 2/2] rt2x00: do not pause queue unconditionally on error path

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

 



Pausing queue without checking threshold is racy with txdone path.
Moreover we do not need pause queue on any error, but only if queue
is full - in case when we send RTS frame ( other cases of almost full
queue are already handled in rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame() ).

Patch fixes of theoretically possible problem of pausing empty
queue.
