   3 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Ensure vif queues are operational after start
   4
   5 Make sure local->queue_stop_reasons and vif.txqs_stopped stay in sync.
   6
   7 When a new vif is created the queues may end up in an inconsistent state
   8 and be inoperable:
   9 Communication not using iTXQ will work, allowing to e.g. complete the
  10 association. But the 4-way handshake will time out. The sta will not
  11 send out any skbs queued in iTXQs.
  12
  13 All normal attempts to start the queues will fail when reaching this
  14 state.
  15 local->queue_stop_reasons will have marked all queues as operational but
  16 vif.txqs_stopped will still be set, creating an inconsistent internal
  17 state.
  18
  19 In reality this seems to be race between the mac80211 function
  20 ieee80211_do_open() setting SDATA_STATE_RUNNING and the wake_txqs_tasklet:
  21 Depending on the driver and the timing the queues may end up to be
  22 operational or not.
