From 9f333281a7da4c3a59bccc0cb53f7590eb850d93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Stezenbach Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 16:49:23 +0100 Subject: mac80211/rt2x00: add ieee80211_tx_status_ni() All rt2x00 drivers except rt2800pci call ieee80211_tx_status() from a workqueue, which causes "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" messages. To fix it, add ieee80211_tx_status_ni() similar to ieee80211_rx_ni() which can be called from process context, and call it from rt2x00lib_txdone(). For the rt2800pci special case a driver flag is introduced. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24892 Signed-off-by: Johannes Stezenbach Signed-off-by: John W.
