Subject[PATCH 0/2] wireless: Use complete() instead complete_all()
Date
From: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de>

Hi,

Using complete_all() is not wrong per se but it suggest that there
might be more than one reader. For -rt I am reviewing all
complete_all() users and would like to leave only the real ones in the
tree. The main problem for -rt about complete_all() is that it can be
uses inside IRQ context and that can lead to unbounded amount work
inside the interrupt handler. That is a no no for -rt.

The patches grouped per subsystem and in small batches to allow
reviewing.

This series ignores all complete_all() usages in the firmware loading
path. They will be hopefully address by Luis' sysdata patches [0].
That leaves a couple of complete_all() calls.

The first patch fixes a real glitch for the carl9170 driver. I was
able to test it because I have the hardware. For the second one I
haven't found any dongle with that chip in my drawers.

This series against net-next of today.

cheers,
daniel
