From ef2e3004855e90d2919105e4a91d7df6ab9845a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Yariv Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:44:11 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] wl12xx: Restart TX when TX descriptors are available The driver stops sending TX packets when either there aren't enough memory blocks, or it runs out of TX descriptors. The driver continues to send packets to the FW only when more memory blocks are available. The FW might free TX descriptors without freeing the corresponding memory blocks, especially when dynamic memory is enabled. In cases where memory blocks are not freed at all, the driver will keep waiting for more memory blocks indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the WL1271_FLAG_FW_TX_BUSY flag when there are available TX descriptors.
