From c38383530fb5e160b739aff4bf08c1cc2dfcc659 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Aring Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2015 23:23:56 +0100 Subject: mac802154: tx: fix synced xmit deadlock This patch reverts 6001d52 ("mac802154: tx: don't allow if down while sync tx"). This has side effects with stop callback which flush the transmit workqueue. The stop callback will wait until the workqueue is flushed and holding the rtnl lock. That means it can happen that the stop callback waits forever because it try to lock the rtnl mutex which is already hold by stop callback.
