    mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue · 42935eca
    Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
    The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
    to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
    takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
    really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
    the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
    
    We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
    be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
    the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
    to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
    
      * ieee80211_queue_work()
      * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
    
    These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
    suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
    flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
    but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
    work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
    someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
    suspend cycle.
    
    Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
    in the mac80211 stop() callback.
