Subject: [PATCH v2] rt2x00: rt2800usb: fix races in tx queue
Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2011 11:35:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110808093512.GB2168@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110808092914.GA2168@redhat.com>

We can perform parallel putting new entries in a queue
(rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame()) and removing entries after
finishing transmitting (rt2800usb_work_txdone()). There are
cases when txdone may process an entry that was not fully
send and nullify entry->skb. What in a result crash the kernel
in rt2800usb_write_tx_desc() or rt2800usb_get_txwi() or other
place where entry->skb is used.

To fix stop processing entries in txdone, which flags do not
indicate transition was finished.
