+Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fix race condition in enabling/disabling IRQs
+
+The code currently relies on refcounting to disable IRQs from within the
+IRQ handler and re-enabling them again after the tasklet has run.
+
+However, due to race conditions sometimes the IRQ handler might be
+called twice, or the tasklet may not run at all (if interrupted in the
+middle of a reset).
+
+This can cause nasty imbalances in the irq-disable refcount which will
+get the driver permanently stuck until the entire radio has been stopped
+and started again (ath_reset will not recover from this).
+
+Instead of using this fragile logic, change the code to ensure that
+running the irq handler during tasklet processing is safe, and leave the
+refcount untouched.
