Linux kernel source tree

Create a hold_txs atomic variable and increment/decrement it when relevant, ie. when we want to hold the queue or release it: currently all the "stopped" situations are suitable, but very soon we will more extensively use this feature for MLME purposes. Upon release, the atomic counter is decremented and checked. If it is back to 0, then the netif queue gets woken up. This makes the whole process fully transparent, provided that all the users of ieee802154_wake/stop_queue() now call ieee802154_hold/release_queue() instead. In no situation individual drivers should call any of these helpers manually in order to avoid messing with the counters. There are other functions more suited for this purpose which have been introduced, such as the _xmit_complete() and _xmit_error() helpers which will handle all that for them. One advantage is that, as no more drivers call the stop/wake helpers directly, we can safely stop exporting them and only declare the hold/release ones in a header only accessible to the core.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
