Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fix an issue in ath_atx_tid paused flag management
Date: Sun, 01 Aug 2010 15:47:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C557AF4.8080908@openwrt.org> (raw)
From: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo.bianconi83@gmail.com>
I noticed a possible issue in the paused flag management of the
ath_atx_tid data structure. In particular, in a noisy environment and
under heavy load, I observed that the AGGR session establishment could
fail several times consecutively causing values of the paused flag
greater than one for this TID (ath_tx_pause_tid is called more than
once from ath_tx_aggr_start).
Considering that the session for this TID can not be established also
after the mac80211 stack calls the ieee80211_agg_tx_operational() since
the ath_tx_aggr_resume() lowers the paused flag only by one.
This patch also replaces some BUG_ON calls with WARN_ON, as even if
these unlikely conditions happen, it's not fatal enough to justify a
BUG_ON.
