-Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: unlock rcu read when returning early
-
-Starting with ath9k: use ieee80211_tx_status_noskb where possible
-[d94a461d7a7df68991fb9663531173f60ef89c68] the driver uses rcu_read_lock() &&
-rcu_read_unlock() yet on returning early in ath_tx_edma_tasklet() the unlock is
-missing leading to stalls and suspicious RCU usage:
-
- ===============================
- [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
- 4.9.0-rc8 #11 Not tainted
- -------------------------------
- kernel/rcu/tree.c:705 Illegal idle entry in RCU read-side critical section.!
-
- other info that might help us debug this:
-
- RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
- rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
- RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
- 1 lock held by swapper/7/0:
- #0:
- (
- rcu_read_lock
- ){......}
