Subject: [PATCH 1/4] iwmc3200wifi: replace netif_rx with netif_rx_ni
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:28:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1245925713-14908-2-git-send-email-yi.zhu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1245925713-14908-1-git-send-email-yi.zhu@intel.com>

The patch uses netif_rx_ni() over netif_rx() to post buffers to
upper network code because it is always scheduled in a workqueue.
The problem was first observed from a dynamic ticks warning:

    "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending ..."
