From 8503df8d0c177e9e1c5468663b8954205ac069c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amitkumar Karwar Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2014 11:45:25 -0700 Subject: mwifiex: fix Tx timeout issue commit d76744a93246eccdca1106037e8ee29debf48277 upstream. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70191 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77581 It is observed that sometimes Tx packet is downloaded without adding driver's txpd header. This results in firmware parsing garbage data as packet length. Sometimes firmware is unable to read the packet if length comes out as invalid. This stops further traffic and timeout occurs. The root cause is uninitialized fields in tx_info(skb->cb) of packet used to get garbage values. In this case if MWIFIEX_BUF_FLAG_REQUEUED_PKT flag is mistakenly set, txpd header was skipped. This patch makes sure that tx_info is correctly initialized to fix the problem.
