Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rt2x00: do not pause queue unconditionally on error path
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2017 12:33:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1513683236-13402-2-git-send-email-sgruszka@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1513683236-13402-1-git-send-email-sgruszka@redhat.com>
Pausing queue without checking threshold is racy with txdone path.
Moreover we do not need pause queue on any error, but only if queue
is full - in case when we send RTS frame ( other cases of almost full
queue are already handled in rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame() ).
Patch fixes of theoretically possible problem of pausing empty
queue.
