From db7fb86b0ca565cf3537401612581a8158025cc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:28:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix notify_mac function The ieee80211_notify_mac() function uses ieee80211_sta_req_auth() which in turn calls ieee80211_set_disassoc() which calls a few functions that need to be able to sleep, so ieee80211_notify_mac() cannot use RCU locking for the interface list and must use rtnl locking instead.
