Subject: [PATCH] iwlagn: avoid sleep in softirq context
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:58:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1225475904-25184-1-git-send-email-linville@tuxdriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1225399265.1115.356.camel@rc-desk>
__ieee80211_tasklet_handler -> __ieee80211_rx ->
__ieee80211_rx_handle_packet -> ieee80211_invoke_rx_handlers ->
ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt -> ieee80211_crypto_tkip_decrypt ->
ieee80211_tkip_decrypt_data -> iwl4965_mac_update_tkip_key ->
iwl_scan_cancel_timeout -> msleep
Ooops!
Avoid the sleep by changing iwl_scan_cancel_timeout with
iwl_scan_cancel and simply returning on failure if the scan persists.
This will cause hardware decryption to fail and we'll handle a few more
frames with software decryption.
