mainlining shenanigans
a548909d7a
If there are lots of packets to be transmitted, the driver would check whether the available descriptors are sufficient according the read/write point of tx queue. Once the available descriptor is not enough, ieee80211_stop_queue is called. TX ISR, meanwhile, is releasing the tx resources after the packets are transmitted. This routine may call ieee80211_wake_queue by checking the available descriptor. The potential queue stop problem would occur when the tx queue is stopped due to the heavy traffic. Then thare is no chance to wake the queue up because the read point is not updated immediately, as a result, no more packets coulde be transmitted in this queue. This patch makes sure the ieee80211_wake_queue could be called properly and avoids the race condition when ring->r.rp, ring->queue_stopped are updated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
