Subject: [PATCH 21/26] rt2x00: Fix txdone race condition
Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2006 19:18:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200612031918.58175.IvDoorn@gmail.com> (raw)

Always call ieee80211_wake_queue if the ring
is not full after the txrun. The ieee80211_wake_queue
is responsible for chacking if the queue was stopped
or not.
The current implementation of checking the ring_full
before the txdone run was flawed and race conditions
could occur that blocked all tx handling.
