From cdfd2c5cffac2e744c855f9998212867387bb2de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ivo van Doorn Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2010 15:37:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: Move watchdog work to kernel work_queue The watchdog function must run on a work_queue which is independent of any other work inside rt2x00. The main reasons, being that a broken work on the mac80211 work_queue can otherwise prevent the watchdog to run (while in fact the watchdog could fix the issue). And on the other hand because the watchdog relies on the completion of the completion handlers for RX/TX which for the USB case, occur on the mac80211 workqueue. This fixes some "Queue %d failed to flush" errors, which were caused by the watchdog function waiting on the completion handler which was scheduled to run right after the watchdog.
