This request-for-test patch converts the b43 driver to use threaded interrupt handlers. This is needed to support b43 on SDIO. But it also simplifies the locking by removal of the wl->irq_lock spinlock. http://bu3sch.de/patches/wireless-testing/20090816-1535/patches/002-b43-threaded-irq-handler.patch A known regression is a new race between the interrupt handler and the beacon update handler. But as long as you don't run AP mode, it won't hurt. I'm working on a solution... Please test this patch whether it creates other regressions (performance and crashes). The patch also needs the following hack to the threaded IRQ code: http://bu3sch.de/patches/wireless-testing/20090816-1535/patches/001-hack-threaded-irqs.patch -- Greetings, Michael. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
