If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c3e9ab82375edc58d6f40fa866c97c28b8835407 Author: Sebastian Gottschall <s.gottschall@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed May 5 15:58:06 2021 +0700 ath10k: Fix tx hanging [ Upstream commit e8a91863eba3966a447d2daa1526082d52b5db2a ] While running stress tests in roaming scenarios (switching ap's every 5 seconds, we discovered a issue which leads to tx hangings of exactly 5 seconds while or after scanning for new accesspoints. We found out that this hanging is triggered by ath10k_mac_wait_tx_complete since the empty_tx_wq was not wake when the num_tx_pending counter reaches zero. To fix this, we simply move the wake_up call to htt_tx_dec_pending, since this call was missed on several locations within the ath10k code.
