From 463e3ed3eacc8f47866e5d612bd8ee0bcee5e2f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 10:50:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: remove sc->rx.rxbuflock to fix a deadlock The commit "ath9k: fix rx flush handling" added a deadlock that happens because ath_rx_tasklet is called in a section that has already taken the rx buffer lock. It seems that the only purpose of the rxbuflock was a band-aid fix to the reset vs rx tasklet race, which has been properly fixed in the commit "ath9k: add a better fix for the rx tasklet vs rx flush race". Now that the fix is in, we can safely remove the lock to avoid such issues. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Sujith Manoharan Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W.
