rt2x00: Serialize TX operations on a queue.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The rt2x00 driver gets frequent occurrences of the following error message
when operating under load:
phy0 -> rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the
non-full queue 2.

This is caused by simultaneous attempts from mac80211 to send a frame via
rt2x00, which are not properly serialized inside rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame,
causing the second frame to fail sending with the above mentioned error
message.

Fix this by introducing a per-queue spinlock to serialize the TX operations
on that queue.
