From 2fa4cb905605c863bf570027233af7afd8149ae4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislaw Gruszka Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:14:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k_htc: make ->sta_rc_update atomic for most calls sta_rc_update() callback must be atomic, hence we can not take mutexes or do other operations, which can sleep in ath9k_htc_sta_rc_update(). I think we can just return from ath9k_htc_sta_rc_update(), if it is called without IEEE80211_RC_SUPP_RATES_CHANGED bit. That will help with scheduling while atomic bug for most cases (except mesh and IBSS modes). For mesh and IBSS I do not see other solution like creating additional workqueue, because sending firmware command require us to sleep, but this can be done in additional patch.
