[RFC] rtlwifi: Convert to asynchronous firmware load

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

 



This patch addresses two recent mail threads. The first, which was on LKML
(http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1112.3/00965.html) was for a
WARNING that occurs after a suspend/resume cycle for rtl8192cu.

The scond mail thread (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=132655490826766&w=2)
concerned changes in udev that break drivers that delay while firmware is loaded
on modprobe.

This patch converts all rtlwifi-based drivers to use the asynchronous firmware
loading mechanism. A completion queue entry is inititialized and the firmware
load is started with the device initialization. The firmware-loaded callback routine
issues a complete() call. The routine that uploads firmware to the device calls
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() with a 5 sec timeout.

The current patch is working, but as this is my first usage of the completion
mechanism, I would like an expert to look it over. In particular, is it
sufficient and prudent to issue a complete() call when the driver is unloaded
so as to not leave a queue entry when the underlying struct is destroyed?

For the purists, yes, I know this is not a proper commit message. I will supply
one when the patch is actually submitted.
