[PATCH 2/2] ath9k: Fix incorrect tx-hang detection logic.

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

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It is not guaranteed that the ath_tx_complete_poll_work runs
after some fixed duration because the channel-reset logic
removes the work and then re-adds it to run immediately.
Two channel-changes 1ms apart, with a transmit was being
attempted, could thus incorrectly trigger a reset by
the ath_tx_complete_poll_work method.

Add a jiffies timestamp to ensure that at least 1 second
has elapsed before triggering the reset.
