[PATCH] ath9k: fix tx locking issues

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

 



The commit "ath9k: simplify tx locking" introduced a soft lockup triggered
by mac80211 sending a BAR frame triggered by a driver call to
ieee80211_tx_send_bar or ieee80211_tx_status.
Fix these issues by queueing processed tx status skbs and submitting them
to mac80211 outside of the lock.
