Subject: ath9: Fix ath_rx_flush_tid() for IRQs disabled kernel warning message.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=773b4e02be28220e9ead80a5fdb180031361439a;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

ath9: Fix ath_rx_flush_tid() for IRQs disabled kernel warning message.

This patch addresses an issue with the locking order. ath_rx_flush_tid()
uses spin_lock/unlock_bh when IRQs are disabled in sta_notify by mac80211.

As node clean up is still pending with ath9k and this problematic portion
of the code is expected to change anyway, thinking of a proper fix may not
be worthwhile. So having this interim fix helps the users to get rid of the
kernel warning message.

Pasted the kernel warning message for reference.
