[PATCH 1/3] ar9170: atomic pending A-MPDU counter

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

 



A ref-counting bug emerged after testing ar9170usb's HT
implementation on a bigger SMP/SMT system without the usual
_debugging_ overhead.

Just in case: all patches are for wireless-testing.
I don't think it's critical, since the A-MPDU can't
be enabled in vanilla anyway...
