-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: David Sterba upstream commit: eb4e545d4ac82d9018487edb4419b33b9930c857 Packet sending is driven by two flags, tx_ready and tx_queued. It was possible, that there were queued data for sending and hardware was flagged as blocked but in fact it was not. The tx_queued was indicator but should be really a counter else first fragmented packet resets tx_queued flag, but there may be pending packets which do not get sent. New semantics: tx_ready - set, if hw is ready to send packet, no packet is being transferred right now set the flag right at the place where data are copied into hw memory and not earlier without checking if it was succesful tx_queued - count of enqueued packets, including fragments Tested-by: Michal Rokos Signed-off-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Chris Wright --- drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/hardware.c | 20 ++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/hardware.c +++ b/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/hardware.c @@ -251,10 +251,11 @@ struct ipw_hardware { int init_loops; struct timer_list setup_timer; + /* Flag if hw is ready to send next packet */ int tx_ready; - struct list_head tx_queue[NL_NUM_OF_PRIORITIES]; - /* True if any packets are queued for transmission */ + /* Count of pending packets to be sent */ int tx_queued; + struct list_head tx_queue[NL_NUM_OF_PRIORITIES]; int rx_bytes_queued; struct list_head rx_queue; @@ -430,6 +431,8 @@ static int do_send_fragment(struct ipw_h spin_lock_irqsave(&hw->spinlock, flags); + hw->tx_ready = 0; + if (hw->hw_version == HW_VERSION_1) { outw((unsigned short) length, hw->base_port + IODWR); @@ -518,6 +521,7 @@ static int do_send_packet(struct ipw_har spin_lock_irqsave(&hw->spinlock, flags); list_add(&packet->queue, &hw->tx_queue[0]); + hw->tx_queued++; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hw->spinlock, flags); } else { if (packet->packet_callback) @@ -975,12 +979,10 @@ static int send_pending_packet(struct ip unsigned long flags; spin_lock_irqsave(&hw->spinlock, flags); - if (hw->tx_queued && hw->tx_ready != 0) { + if (hw->tx_queued && hw->tx_ready) { int priority; struct ipw_tx_packet *packet = NULL; - hw->tx_ready--; - /* Pick a packet */ for (priority = 0; priority < priority_limit; priority++) { if (!list_empty(&hw->tx_queue[priority])) { @@ -989,6 +991,7 @@ static int send_pending_packet(struct ip struct ipw_tx_packet, queue); + hw->tx_queued--; list_del(&packet->queue); break; @@ -999,6 +1002,7 @@ static int send_pending_packet(struct ip spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hw->spinlock, flags); return 0; } + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hw->spinlock, flags); /* Send */ @@ -1089,7 +1093,7 @@ static irqreturn_t ipwireless_handle_v1_ if (irqn & IR_TXINTR) { ack |= IR_TXINTR; spin_lock_irqsave(&hw->spinlock, flags); - hw->tx_ready++; + hw->tx_ready = 1; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hw->spinlock, flags); } /* Received data */ @@ -1196,7 +1200,7 @@ static irqreturn_t ipwireless_handle_v2_ if (memrxdone & MEMRX_RX_DONE) { writew(0, &hw->memory_info_regs->memreg_rx_done); spin_lock_irqsave(&hw->spinlock, flags); - hw->tx_ready++; + hw->tx_ready = 1; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hw->spinlock, flags); tx = 1; } @@ -1260,7 +1264,7 @@ static void send_packet(struct ipw_hardw spin_lock_irqsave(&hw->spinlock, flags); list_add_tail(&packet->queue, &hw->tx_queue[priority]); - hw->tx_queued = 1; + hw->tx_queued++; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hw->spinlock, flags); flush_packets_to_hw(hw); -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
