Subject: [PATCH ath-next] wifi: ath9k_htc: count a frame as queued before it is sent
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 22:59:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111215902.574916-1-mehmet.fide@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Mehmet Fide <mehmet.fide@screeningeagle.com>

ath9k_htc_tx() hands the frame to the device and counts it in
tx.queued_cnt afterwards. The TX status of the frame is handled in the
WMI event tasklet, which can run before the sender gets to the counter.
ath9k_htc_tx_process() then takes the counter below zero, warns and
sets it to zero, and the sender's increment leaves it one too high for
good:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 348 at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_txrx.c:510 ath9k_htc_tx_process+0x400/0x558 [ath9k_htc]
Call trace:
 ath9k_htc_tx_process+0x400/0x558 [ath9k_htc]
 ath9k_htc_txstatus+0x58/0x140 [ath9k_htc]
 ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet+0x16c/0x17c [ath9k_htc]
 tasklet_action_common+0x108/0x150

Count the frame before it is sent and take it back if the send fails.
