Using NO_PKT_PRIO_TID and tx_pkts_queued to check for an empty state, can lead to a contradictory state, resulting in an infinite loop. Currently queueing and dequeuing of packets is not synchronized, and can happen concurrently. While tx_pkts_queued is incremented when adding a packet, max prio is set to NO_PKT when the WMM list is empty. If a packet is added right after the check for empty, but before setting max prio to NO_PKT, that packet is trapped and creates an infinite loop. Because of the new packet, tx_pkts_queued is at least 1, indicating wmm lists are not empty. Opposing that max prio is NO_PKT, which means "skip this wmm queue, it has no packets". The infinite loop results, because the main loop checks the wmm lists for not empty via tx_pkts_queued, but for dequeing it uses max_prio to see if it can skip current list. This will never end, unless a new packet is added which will restore max prio to the level of the trapped packet. The solution here is to rely on tx_pkts_queued solely for checking wmm queue to be empty, and drop the NO_PKT define. It does not address the locking issue. Signed-off-by:

ra_list_spinlock is used to protect struct mwifiex_wmm_desc and embedded structures such as ra_list. tid_tbl_lock while more fine grained, is not used but in one function. That function is not called reentrantly. To protect ra_list from concurrent modification ra_list_spinlock must be held. Signed-off-by:

adapter->bss_prio_tbl list has already been checked in outer loop. The inner loop works with priv_tmp->wmm.tid_tbl_ptr list. Also the lock taken, gives hint that this is likely a copy-paste error. Signed-off-by:

These are the remaining knobs in ath9k to support DFS: * mark AR9280 and AR9580 as DFS tested * synchronize DFS regulatory domain to reg notifyer * set required RX filter flags for radar detection * process radar PHY errors at DFS detector * notify DFS master on radar detection DFS support requires CONFIG_ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED to be set.

cmd_pending is increased in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() and decreased in mwifiex_complete_cmd() currently. If there are two or more commands in the cmd_pending_q the main worker thread will pick up next command from cmd_pending_q automatically after finishing current command. As a result mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() will not be called because the command is alreay completed. This leads to a negative number in cmd_pending count. Fix it by increasing cmd_pending when a cmd is queued into cmd_pending_q and decreasing when that cmd is recycled. For scan commands we don't perform inc/dec operations until it's moved from scan_pending_q to cmd_pending_q. This covers both synchronous and asynchronous commands. Reported-by:

Firmware provides the driver with credits used to transmit packets to the firmware. When credits run out the packets should be queued and dequeued when receiving creditback signals from the firmware. Reviewed-by:

In brcmf_sdbrcm_txpkt() a new packet is allocated and used to transmit to firmware freeing up the original packet. However, that packet is still referenced in firmware-signalling so this would result in a double free. Using skb_cow() avoids this as the packet reference is unchanged. Reviewed-by:
