Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: switch to ieee80211_tx_dequeue_ni
Git-commit: 306547608c84378084d718be4cc1be03200aabfd
Patch-mainline: v5.5-rc1
References: jsc#SLE-13430
Since ath10k_mac_tx_push_txq() can be called from process context, we
must explicitly disable softirqs before the call into mac80211.
By calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue_ni() instead of ieee80211_tx_dequeue()
we make sure softirqs are always disabled even in the case when
ath10k_mac_tx_push_txq() is called from process context.
Calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue_ni() with softirq's already disabled
(e.g., from softirq context) should be safe as the local_bh_disable()
and local_bh_enable() functions (called from ieee80211_tx_dequeue_ni)
are fully reentrant.
