[PATCH 2/2] wl1271: Move work-init calls to hw allocation

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

 



From: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@xxxxxxxxx>

Due to legacy reason, dating back to when the wl1251 and wl1271 still were
a unified driver, some work-structures are initialized on hardware startup.

The hardware recovery code creates a scenario in which it is possible for a
workstruct to be re-initialized while the work-function itself is running,
which causes a kernel WARNing and a subsequent reboot.

To remedy this, move the work initialization calls to the hw allocation,
which is the logically correct place for them anyway.
