From 77a861c405da75d81e9e6e32c50eb7f9777777e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gertjan van Wingerde Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2011 22:56:24 +0200 Subject: rt2x00: Serialize TX operations on a queue. The rt2x00 driver gets frequent occurrences of the following error message when operating under load: phy0 -> rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 2. This is caused by simultaneous attempts from mac80211 to send a frame via rt2x00, which are not properly serialized inside rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame, causing the second frame to fail sending with the above mentioned error message. Fix this by introducing a per-queue spinlock to serialize the TX operations on that queue.
