From 6d1f37323f5b796dbba4e2d9069778fc5b9bb2a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjorn Andersson Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2017 16:35:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] wcn36xx: Reduce spinlock in indication handler The purpose of pushing indication on a list and handle these in a separate worker is to allow the handlers to sleep. It does therefor not make much sense to hold the queue spinlock through the entire indication worker function. By removing items from the queue early we don't need to hold the lock throughout the indication worker, allowing the individual handlers to sleep.
