Re: [ipw3945-devel] [PATCH 2/5] iwlwifi: iwl3945 synchronize interruptandtasklet for down iwlwifi

[Joonwoo Park]

I'm so sorry for mangled patch.
resending patch with preformat html from thunderbird.


After disabling interrupts, it's possible irq & tasklet is pending or running
This patch eleminates races for down iwlwifi.

Since synchronize_irq can introduce iwl_irq_tasklet, tasklet_kill should be 
called after doing synchronize_irq.
To avoid races between iwl_synchronize_irq and iwl_irq_tasklet
STATUS_INT_ENABLED flag is needed.
