[21/38] rt2x00: Serialize TX operations on a queue.

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Oct 11 2011 - 13:07:29 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Gertjan van Wingerde <gwingerde@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 77a861c405da75d81e9e6e32c50eb7f9777777e8 upstream.

The rt2x00 driver gets frequent occurrences of the following error message
when operating under load:
phy0 -> rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the
non-full queue 2.

This is caused by simultaneous attempts from mac80211 to send a frame via
rt2x00, which are not properly serialized inside rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame,
causing the second frame to fail sending with the above mentioned error
message.

Fix this by introducing a per-queue spinlock to serialize the TX operations
on that queue.
