From b5992fe962b0c91880229ec31166517e4db2977b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Ott Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 04:00:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mac802154: Use netif flow control Use netif_stop_queue() and netif_wake_queue() to control the flow of packets to mac802154 devices. Since many IEEE 802.15.4 devices have no output buffer, and since the mac802154 xmit() function is designed to block, netif_stop_queue() is called after each packet.
