As shown in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/36497, mac80211 has a bug that allows a call to the TX routine after the queues have been stopped. This situation will only occur under extreme stress. Although b43 does not crash when this condition occurs, it does generate a WARN_ON and also logs a queue overrun message. This patch recognizes b43 is not at fault and logs a message only when the most verbose debugging mode is enabled. In the unlikely event that the queue is not stopped when the DMA queue becomes full, then a warning is issued. During testing of this patch with one output stream running repeated tcpperf writes and a second running a flood ping, this routine was entered with the DMA ring stopped about once per hour. The condition where the DMA queue is full but the ring has not been stopped has never been seen by me. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
