From 11e3e22fa533f5d7cf04e32343b05a27eda3c7a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Wetzel Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2025 18:25:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: Do not schedule stopped TXQs Ignore TXQs with the flag IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP when scheduling a queue. The flag is only set after all fragments have been dequeued and won't allow dequeueing other frames as long as the flag is set. For drivers using ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() this prevents an loop trying to push the queued frames while IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP is set: After setting IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP the driver will call ieee80211_return_txq(). Which calls __ieee80211_schedule_txq(), detects that there sill are frames in the queue and immediately restarts the stopped TXQ. Which can't dequeue any frame and thus starts over the loop.
