Subject: mac80211: add tx dequeue function for process context
X-Git-Tag: v5.4-rc1~131^2~325^2~30
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb0e76abe34bd67756dbdf4d5982b7dc54afa1d8;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

mac80211: add tx dequeue function for process context

Since ieee80211_tx_dequeue() must not be called with softirqs enabled
(i.e. from process context without proper disable of bottom halves),
we add a wrapper that disables bottom halves before calling
ieee80211_tx_dequeue()

The new function is named ieee80211_tx_dequeue_ni() just as all other
from-process-context versions found in mac80211.

The documentation of ieee80211_tx_dequeue() is also updated so it
mentions that the function should not be called from process context.
