By calling __nci_request instead of nci_request allows the driver to use
the function while initializing the device (setup stage)

You're fixing your problem by removing the NCI request serialization and
removing the check for your device being UP.
I assume you need to open and close a proprietary connection from your
setup hook ? Then please extend nci_request() to check for both NCI_UP
and NCI_INIT.

Cheers,
Samuel.

You are right, I am opening and closing a connection from the setup
function. The setup is called by nci_open_device. At the beginning of
nci_open_device, req_lock is being acquired and it is release at the
end of the function. That means that when setup is being called
req_lock is acuired. As you said I can modify nci_request to check for
NCI_INIT but it tries to acquire req_lock and it can not succeed.

We could use another mutex for nci_request but I am not sure if that
is a good idea.

Regards,
Robert

I see, I thought the issue was only about checking the NCI_* flags.

As a short term solution, I propose you do the following:

a) Export nci_core_conn_create_req, nci_core_conn_close_req and
__nci_request.
b) Call __nci_request() directly from your fdp_nci_close_conn() and
fdp_nci_create_conn() routines.

The long term, scalable fix would be to implement and export an
__nci_send_cmd_sync() routine, that would transparently build an NCI
request and tail it to the ndev req skb queue, and put the caller on a
wait queue. The created request's response callback would then wake the
caller up.

Cheers,
Samuel.

If nci_open_device would use another mutex instead of req_lock this
wouldn't be necessary.
I don't see any reason why nci_open_device should block the send
queue. Of course, in nci_open_device all calls to __nci_request would
have to be replaced with nci_request.

Samuel, would that be an acceptable solution?

Robert
