[PATCH 30/32] staging: wfx: fix potential deadlock in wfx_tx_flush()

From: Jerome Pouiller
Date: Wed Apr 01 2020 - 07:05:47 EST


From: JÃrÃme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx>

wfx_tx_flush() wait there are no more frame in device buffer. However,
this event may never happens since wfx_tx_flush() don't forbid to
enqueue new frames.

Note that wfx_tx_flush() should only ensure that all frames currently in
hardware queues are sent. So the current code is more restrictive that
it should.

Note that wfx_tx_flush() release the lock before to return while
wfx_tx_lock_flush() keep the lock.
