I found this while testing wpa_supplicant that shares scan results.
The kernel has no scan-sharing hacks in it..just a few patches
I've been using for a while (and the deadlock prevention patch
previously mentioned in other threads).

This should fix it. ath_tx_complete is already called with the txq locked.

I'll give this a try later. Overnight my ath9k box started spitting endless ath9k TX DMA
errors and it seems to have corrupted the / file-system or disk again:
[drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0
dracut: Starting plymouth daemon

Boot has failed, sleeping forever.

I don't see any lockdep errors with this, but I did see this spit out:

That, or similar, was happening before, so your patch may still be fine.
