Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] ath9k: fix stopping tx dma on reset
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 14:41:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1299764499-76251-2-git-send-email-nbd@openwrt.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1299764499-76251-1-git-send-email-nbd@openwrt.org>
In some situations, stopping Tx DMA frequently fails, leading to messages
like this:
ath: Failed to stop TX DMA in 100 msec after killing last frame
ath: Failed to stop TX DMA!
This patch uses a few MAC features to abort DMA globally instead of iterating
over all hardware queues and attempting to stop them individually.
Not only is that faster and works with a shorter timeout, it also makes the
process much more reliable.
With this change, I can no longer trigger these messages on AR9380,
and on AR9280 they become much more rare.
