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.
