Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Fix race condition in msgbuf ioctl processing.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Msgbuf is using a wait_event_timeout to wait for the response on
 | 
						|
an ioctl. The wakeup routine uses waitqueue_active to see if
 | 
						|
wait_event_timeout has been called. There is a chance that the
 | 
						|
response arrives before wait_event_timeout is called, this
 | 
						|
will result in situation that wait_event_timeout never gets
 | 
						|
woken again and assumed result will be a timeout. This patch
 | 
						|
removes that errornous situation by always setting the
 | 
						|
ctl_completed var before checking for queue active.
