[PATCH 2/2] wl1251: fix elp_work race condition

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

 



While working on PS I've noticed elp_work is kicking rather often, and
sometimes the chip is put to sleep before 5ms delay expires. This
seems to happen because by the time wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup is called
elp_work might still be pending. After wakeup is done, the processing
may take some time, during which 5ms might expire and elp_work might
get scheduled. In this case, ss soon as 1st thread finishes work and
releases the mutex, elp_work will then put the device to sleep without
5ms delay. In addition 1st thread will queue additional elp_work
needlessly.

Fix this by cancelling work in wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup instead.
