[PATCH 2/6] ath5k: Always free tx buffers before reset

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

 



 * Always free tx buffers before reset, since we also empty hw queues.
 If we don't and a queue gets stuck, we'll never decrease txq_len and sw
 will keep thinking the queue is still stuck even after reset.
