To fix it, add ieee80211_tx_status_ni() similar to ieee80211_rx_ni() which can be called from process context, and call it from rt2x00lib_txdone(). For the rt2800pci special case a driver flag is introduced. Signed-off-by: Johannes Stezenbach --- v2: add ieee80211_tx_status_ni() v3: simplify accorindg to review v4: add rt2x00 as first user of ieee80211_tx_status_ni() The DRIVER_REQUIRE_TASKLET_CONTEXT flag may seem ugly, but there is a pending rewrite of the rt2800pci irq handling code by Helmut, so we decided to use this easy solution.
