[PATCH 11/11] wil6210: drop old event after wmi_call timeout

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

 



From: Ahmad Masri <amasri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This change fixes a rare race condition of handling WMI events after
wmi_call expires.

wmi_recv_cmd immediately handles an event when reply_buf is defined and
a wmi_call is waiting for the event.
However, in case the wmi_call has already timed-out, there will be no
waiting/running wmi_call and the event will be queued in WMI queue and
will be handled later in wmi_event_handle.
Meanwhile, a new similar wmi_call for the same command and event may
be issued. In this case, when handling the queued event we got WARN_ON
printed.

Fixing this case as a valid timeout and drop the unexpected event.
