Subject: [PATCH 3.3] rt2x00: fix random stalls
Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2012 17:48:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120305164813.GB2979@redhat.com> (raw)

Is possible that we stop queue and then do not wake up it again,
especially when packets are transmitted fast. That can be easily
reproduced with modified tx queue entry_num to some small value e.g. 16.

If mac80211 already hold local->queue_stop_reason_lock, then we can wait
on that lock in both rt2x00queue_pause_queue() and
rt2x00queue_unpause_queue(). After drooping ->queue_stop_reason_lock
is possible that __ieee80211_wake_queue() will be performed before
__ieee80211_stop_queue(), hence we stop queue and newer wake up it
again.

To prevent stalls serialize pause/unpause by queue->tx_lock.
