Subject: [ 42/47] ipw2200: Fix race condition in the command completion acknowledge
Date: Fri, 04 May 2012 13:43:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120504204248.471295804@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120504204307.GA13761@kroah.com>
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Stanislav Yakovlev <stas.yakovlev@gmail.com>
commit dd447319895d0c0af423e483d9b63f84f3f8869a upstream.
Driver incorrectly validates command completion: instead of waiting
for a command to be acknowledged it continues execution. Most of the
time driver gets acknowledge of the command completion in a tasklet
before it executes the next one. But sometimes it sends the next
command before it gets acknowledge for the previous one. In such a
case one of the following error messages appear in the log:
Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command.
Failed to send ASSOCIATE: Already sending a command.
Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command.
After that you need to reload the driver to get it working again.
This bug occurs during roaming (reported by Sam Varshavchik)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738508
and machine booting (reported by Tom Gundersen and Mads Kiilerich)
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28097
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802106
This patch doesn't fix the delay issue during firmware load.
But at least device now works as usual after boot.
