The code terminate processing when the limit is reached regardless the txstatus value read from the device register. When that status is is flagged as being valid it must be processed as the hardware will clear it after is has been read. Bisecting was done by Seth Forshee and showed following commit as the culprit: commit 57fe504817ccec9b6ac23e973d2925343bf1e3b6 Author: Piotr Haber Date: Wed Nov 28 21:44:07 2012 +0100 brcmsmac: fix bounds checking in tx/rx [1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg101293.html Reported-by: Linus Torvalds Tested-by: Seth Forshee Reviewed-by: Hante Meuleman Reviewed-by: Pieter-Paul Giesberts Signed-off-by: Arend van Spriel Signed-off-by: John W.
