From 1b91731d23a3dd8e8d7e3ee21b8c6d6d4cde62c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 12:55:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix tim_lock locking The ieee80211_beacon_add_tim() function might be called by drivers with BHs enabled, which causes a potential deadlock if TX happens at the same time and attempts to lock the tim_lock as well. Use spin_lock_bh to fix it.
