Subject: mac80211/rt2x00: add ieee80211_tx_status_ni()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.37-rc8~13^2~7^2~2
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9f333281a7da4c3a59bccc0cb53f7590eb850d93;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

mac80211/rt2x00: add ieee80211_tx_status_ni()

All rt2x00 drivers except rt2800pci call ieee80211_tx_status() from
a workqueue, which causes "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" messages.

To fix it, add ieee80211_tx_status_ni() similar to ieee80211_rx_ni()
which can be called from process context, and call it from
rt2x00lib_txdone().  For the rt2800pci special case a driver
flag is introduced.
