3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgrus...@redhat.com> commit efd821182cec8c92babef6e00a95066d3252fda4 upstream. On rt2x00_dmastart() we increase index specified by Q_INDEX and on rt2x00_dmadone() we increase index specified by Q_INDEX_DONE. So entries between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX are those we currently process in the hardware. Entries between Q_INDEX and Q_INDEX_DONE are those we can submit to the hardware. According to that fix rt2x00usb_kick_queue(), as we need to submit RX entries that are not processed by the hardware. It worked before only for empty queue, otherwise was broken. Note that for TX queues indexes ordering are ok. We need to kick entries that have filled skb, but was not submitted to the hardware, i.e. started from Q_INDEX_DONE and have ENTRY_DATA_PENDING bit set. >From practical standpoint this fixes RX queue stall, usually reproducible in AP mode, like for example reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=828824 Reported-and-tested-by: Franco Miceli <fmic...@plan.ceibal.edu.uy> Reported-and-tested-by: Tom Horsley <horsley1...@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgrus...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
