[PATCH] ath10k: Protect ath10k_htt_rx_ring_free with rx_ring.lock

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

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

While debugging driver crashes related to a buggy firmware
crashing under load, I noticed that ath10k_htt_rx_ring_free
could be called without being under lock.  I'm not sure if this
is the root cause of the crash or not, but it seems prudent to
protect it.
