Subject: [PATCH 03/10] iwlagn: verify that huge commands are synchronous
Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 09:44:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1303145057-6545-4-git-send-email-wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1303145057-6545-1-git-send-email-wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Since huge commands all share a single buffer,
there can only be a single one in flight at a
time since otherwise they'd overwrite each
other. This is true in the driver now, but it
seems like a possible source of bugs, so add
a test to verify that huge commands are always
sent synchronously.
