[PATCH] rt2x00: rt2800usb: fix races in tx queue

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

 



We can perform parallel putting new entries in a queue
(rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame()) and removing entries after finishing
transmitting (rt2800usb_work_txdone()). There are cases when txdone
may process an entry that was not fully send and nullify entry->skb.
What in a result crash the kernel in rt2800usb_write_tx_desc() or
rt2800usb_get_txwi() or other place where entry->skb is used.

To fix stop processing entries in txdone, which flags do not indicate
transition was finished.

Also change flags as soon as we get confirmation transmision is done.
