From 24a8fdad35835e8d71f7c4b978a246fafed2e7b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Lamparter Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2010 17:25:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: serialize rx path workers This patch addresses the issue of serialization between the main rx path and various reorder release timers. It converts the previously local "frames" queue into a global rx queue [rx_skb_queue]. This way, everyone (be it the main rx-path or some reorder release timeout) can add frames to it. Only one active rx handler worker [ieee80211_rx_handlers] is needed. All other threads which have lost the race of "runnning_rx_handler" can now simply "return", knowing that the thread who had the "edge" will also take care of their workload.
