From 07236bf3c659d1823262c1dabec4fa05990df115 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sujith Manoharan Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:22:18 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: Use lockless variants for the RX fifo queue The RX fifo can be accessed from the common tasklet or it can be reaped/cleaned when RX is stopped, which is done when doing a reset or channel change - this happens in process context. Since it is ensured that there are no pending tasklets when stopping RX and cleaning the FIFO, there is no need to use SKB queue functions which take internal locks.
