Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: Silence tfds_in_queue message

Commit a239a8b47cc0e5e6d7416a89f340beac06d5edaa introduced a
noisy message, that fills up the log very fast.

The error seems not to be fatal (the connection is stable and
performance is ok), so make it IWL_DEBUG_TX rather than IWL_ERR.

Did you fill a bug report on http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/
to allow Intel fix the real root of the issue. If not please do.
You may CC me to bug report. 

In general patch looks good for me. 

Cheers

Actually I would like to NACK the patch.

We did mistake during backporting to 2.6.32 . In iwl_tx_queue_reclaim()
we make make double nfreed--. I don't know how we miss that :(

Greg please take patch from the next email if Adel conform that 
it fix the issue.

Thanks

Thanks for catch this one, it puzzle me a lot because I am using the
latest code and did not realize the "nfreed++" still there in the
backport version.

Yeah not sure that making it a debug message is a bad idea though (but
even if we want that it doesn't matter much for stable).

Hi Stanislaw,

only to clarify:
There is no need for "iwlwifi: Silence tfds_in_queue message" patch
from wireless-2.6 GIT?
I mean "[2.6.32] iwlwifi: fix nfreed--" is enough for solving the
mentionned problem?

Kind Regards,
- Sedat -
