Subject: wl12xx: avoid blocking while holding rcu lock on bss info change
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a100885d9dfd8685e0b4e442afc9041ee4c90586;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

wl12xx: avoid blocking while holding rcu lock on bss info change

Some blocking functions were called while holding the rcu lock for
accessing STA information. This can lead to a deadlock.

Save the required info beforehand and release the rcu without
blocking.
