[PATCH] mac80211: avoid calling ieee80211_work_work unconditionally

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

 



On suspend, there might be usb wireless drivers which wrongly trigger
the warning in ieee80211_work_work. If an usb driver doesn't have a
suspend hook, the usb stack will disconnect the device. On disconnect,
a mac80211 driver calls ieee80211_unregister_hw, which calls dev_close,
which calls ieee80211_stop, and in the end calls ieee80211_work_purge->
ieee80211_work_work.

The problem is that this call to ieee80211_work_purge comes after
mac80211 is suspended, triggering the warning even when we don't have
work queued in work_list (the expected case when already suspended),
because it always calls ieee80211_work_work.

So, just call ieee80211_work_work in ieee80211_work_purge if we really
have to abort work. This addresses the warning reported at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24402
