From 23e76d1a516eef416fb5c038791e943fc0916b67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emmanuel Grumbach Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 09:50:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: pcie: don't panic on host commands in iwldvm None of the devices supported by iwldvm have support for shadow registers. This means that we wake the NIC when we increment the write pointer on Tx ring. This happened even before my bad commit mentionned below. Since my commit below, we wake up the NIC when we put a host command on the ring regardless of shadow register support. This means that in iwldvm (when the NIC doesn't support shadow register), we wake up the NIC twice: pcie_enqueue_hcmd: wake up the NIC iwl_pcie_txq_inc_wr_ptr: wake up the NIC - no shadow reg support Since waking up the NIC means that we need to acquire a spinlock, this obviously leads to a recursive spinlock and hence a freeze.
