3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2fa4cb905605c863bf570027233af7afd8149ae4 upstream. sta_rc_update() callback must be atomic, hence we can not take mutexes or do other operations, which can sleep in ath9k_htc_sta_rc_update(). I think we can just return from ath9k_htc_sta_rc_update(), if it is called without IEEE80211_RC_SUPP_RATES_CHANGED bit. That will help with scheduling while atomic bug for most cases (except mesh and IBSS modes). For mesh and IBSS I do not see other solution like creating additional workqueue, because sending firmware command require us to sleep, but this can be done in additional patch.
