commit: ea888357ec005abffb95acee2e61aac68dff429c From: Stanislaw Gruszka <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 14:15:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k_htc: fix race conditions when stop device
We do not kill any scheduled tasklets when stopping device, that may cause usage of resources after free. Disable interrupts, kill tasklets and then works in correct order.
