This doesn't really help with implementing proper suspend in any way but makes some bad things trigger less. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg --- I'm not sure whether we should put this into 2.6.26 or not, while it might help a bit it doesn't really do much over what the tx bugs finder already does except avoid sending out the packets that froze b43 in the first place... Ivo, you might consider using =EF=BB=BFcreate_freezeable_workqueue for = your rt2x00 patch though. net/mac80211/main.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- everything.orig/net/mac80211/main.c 2008-06-26 18:21:14.000000000 += 0200 +++ everything/net/mac80211/main.c 2008-06-26 18:21:16.000000000 +0200 @@ -1774,7 +1774,7 @@ int ieee80211_register_hw(struct ieee802 list_add_tail(&sdata->list, &local->interfaces); =20 name =3D wiphy_dev(local->hw.wiphy)->driver->name; - local->hw.workqueue =3D create_singlethread_workqueue(name); + local->hw.workqueue =3D create_freezeable_workqueue(name); if (!local->hw.workqueue) { result =3D -ENOMEM; goto fail_workqueue; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireles= s" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
