From a100885d9dfd8685e0b4e442afc9041ee4c90586 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arik Nemtsov Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2011 23:24:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
