[PATCH 3.18 20/50] wil6210: fix deadlock when using fw_no_recovery option

Show all headers | View raw

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lior David <qca_liord@qca.qualcomm.com>

commit dfb5b098e0f40b68aa07f2ec55f4dd762efefbfa upstream.

When FW crashes with no_fw_recovery option, driver
waits for manual recovery with wil->mutex held, this
can easily create deadlocks.
Fix the problem by moving the wait outside the lock.
