Subject: [ath9k-devel] [RFC] Serialization of writes
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2009 17:12:16 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090204011216.GA8220@tesla> (raw)

Some devices requires serialization of writes, this is required
for AR5416 and AR9280 PCI devices. This was not implemented in ath9k
though. Here's an attempt, but I have no way of testing this as I
haven't had issues with my systems or cards. I am not sure if this
should fix some of the current issues being reported but it may help.

Those who have issues on SMP systems with hostapd locking up --
please give this a whirl, let me know if it helps.

This has 3 patches in 1 file, the one that counts it the third one
but just apply it all together, 'patch -p1 serialize.patch' (
for compat-wireless users or testers) or 'git am serialize.patch'
for git users.

Feedback on results is appreciated.
