  3. Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: unlock rcu read when returning early
  4. Starting with ath9k: use ieee80211_tx_status_noskb where possible
  5. [d94a461d7a7df68991fb9663531173f60ef89c68] the driver uses rcu_read_lock() &&
  6. rcu_read_unlock() yet on returning early in ath_tx_edma_tasklet() the unlock is
  7. missing leading to stalls and suspicious RCU usage:
  8. ===============================
  9. [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]

  11. -------------------------------
  12. kernel/rcu/tree.c:705 Illegal idle entry in RCU read-side critical section.!
  13. other info that might help us debug this:
  14. RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
  15. rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
  16. RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
