From fb2382c75b1292aff0ebc8e209b0cb9ba70bb2cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juuso Oikarinen Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 11:24:29 +0200 Subject: wl1271: Fix RX path stall The wl1271_rx function loops through packets in an aggregated buffer. Each packet in the buffer is handled by a call to wl1271_rx_handle_data, which will fail if skb memory allocation fails or production mode is enabled. These failures currently prevent the rx counters to be incremented, thus causing the rx loop to run forever. Fix this by ignoring error codes reported wl1271_rx_handle_data function. This essentially means that frames will be dropped in production mode, which is the intetion, and frames will be dropped if memory allocation fails, which is a decent way to recover from that situation.
