From 599e59538448ee49d5470f226bb191b2f78aa3a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cindy H Kao Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2010 20:07:47 -0700 Subject: wimax/i2400m: add the error recovery mechanism on TX path This patch adds an error recovery mechanism on TX path. The intention is to bring back the device to some known state whenever TX sees -110 (-ETIMEOUT) on copying the data to the HW FIFO. The TX failure could mean a device bus stuck or function stuck, so the current error recovery implementation is to trigger a bus reset and expect this can bring back the device. Since the TX work is done in a thread context, there may be a queue of TX works already that all hit the -ETIMEOUT error condition because the device has somewhat stuck already. We don't want any consecutive bus resets simply because multiple TX works in the queue all hit the same device erratum, the flag "error_recovery" is introduced to denote if we are ready for taking any error recovery. See @error_recovery doc in i2400m.h.
