Subject: [patch 15/19] xirc2ps_cs: Cannot reset card in atomic context
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 10:15:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061010171531.GP6339@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061010171350.GA6339@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: xirc2ps_cs-cannot-reset-card-in-atomic-context.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2567 bytes --]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Joerg Ahrens <joerg@hydrops.han.de>

I am using a Xircom CEM33 pcmcia NIC which has occasional hardware problems.
If the netdev watchdog detects a transmit timeout, do_reset is called which
msleeps - this is illegal in atomic context.

This patch schedules the timeout handling as a workqueue item.
