[PATCH 8/9] ath9k_htc: fix race conditions when stop device

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

 



From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ea888357ec005abffb95acee2e61aac68dff429c upstream

We do not kill any scheduled tasklets when stopping device, that may
cause usage of resources after free. Disable interrupts, kill tasklets
and then works in correct order.
