From e50525bef593c3dd0564df676c567d77f7c20322 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajkumar Manoharan Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 11:33:55 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: fix deadlock while processing rx_in_ord_ind commit 5c86d97bcc1d ("ath10k: combine txrx and replenish task") introduced deadlock while processing rx in order indication message for qca6174 based devices. While merging replenish and txrx tasklets, replenish task should be called out of htt rx ring locking since it is also try to acquire the same lock. Unfortunately this issue is not exposed by other solutions (qca988x, qca99x0 & qca4019), as rx_in_ord_ind message is specific to qca6174 based devices.
