rtl818x: Prevent using not initialized queues
Using not existing queues can panic the kernel with rtl8180/rtl8185 cards.
Ignore the skb priority for those cards, they only have one tx queue. Pierre
Asselin (pa@panix.com) reported the kernel crash in the Gentoo forum:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1147832-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-25.html
He also confirmed that this patch fixes the issue. In summary this happened:
After updating wpa_supplicant from 2.9 to 2.10 the kernel crashed with a
"divide error: 0000" when connecting to an AP. Control port tx now tries to
use IEEE80211_AC_VO for the priority, which wpa_supplicants starts to use in
2.10.
Since only the rtl8187se part of the driver supports QoS, the priority
of the skb is set to IEEE80211_AC_BE (2) by mac80211 for rtl8180/rtl8185
cards.
rtl8180 is then unconditionally reading out the priority and finally crashes on
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl818x/rtl8180/dev.c line 544 without this
patch:
idx = (ring->idx + skb_queue_len(&ring->queue)) % ring->entries
"ring->entries" is zero for rtl8180/rtl8185 cards, tx_ring[2] never got
initialized.
