[PATCH 08/18] wifi: iwlwifi: keep BHs disabled when TXing from reclaim

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

 



From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

During reclaim, we may release the txq->lock spinlock in order to call
iwl_trans_tx to queue new frames. The iwl_trans_tx function expects to
be called with BHs disabled and iwl_pcie_reclaim is most of the times
called with BHs disabled already. However, reclaim can also happen after
flushing a STA and in that case BHs will not be disabled.

Solve this corner case by only releasing the spinlock but keeping BHs
disabled.
