mwifiex_main_process will be used from interrupt or workqueue. Now we have disabled interrupt and flush workqueue, so mwifiex_main_process won't be scheduled in the future. But mwifiex_main_process might just running in context of last interrupt, so we need wait current main_process complete in mwifiex_shutdown_drv. > Thanks. > > > > > Signed-off-by: Amitkumar Karwar <[email protected]> > > --- > > v2: Same as v1 > > --- > > drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/init.c | 3 +++ > > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/init.c > > b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/init.c > > index 82839d9..8e5e424 100644 > > --- a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/init.c > > +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/init.c > > @@ -670,11 +670,14 @@ mwifiex_shutdown_drv(struct mwifiex_adapter > > *adapter) > > > > adapter->hw_status = MWIFIEX_HW_STATUS_CLOSING; > > /* wait for mwifiex_process to complete */ > > + spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->main_proc_lock, flags); > > if (adapter->mwifiex_processing) { > > + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&adapter->main_proc_lock, flags); > > mwifiex_dbg(adapter, WARN, > > "main process is still running\n"); > > return ret; > > } > > + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&adapter->main_proc_lock, flags); > > > > /* cancel current command */ > > if (adapter->curr_cmd) { > > -- > > 1.9.1 > > > > -- > Dmitry
