mac80211: scan: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER() 2014-08-26T09:16:31+00:00 Andreea-Cristina Bernat bernat.ada@gmail.com 2014-08-22T13:14:49+00:00 ad053a962f1e83597ec8388716619c7633a00ef1 The use of "rcu_assign_pointer()" is NULLing out the pointer. According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment: "1.

mac80211: split sched scan IEs 2014-06-25T07:10:43+00:00 David Spinadel david.spinadel@intel.com 2014-02-06T14:15:23+00:00 633e27132625a0692440c4db58b901fb3cb67c55 Split sched scan IEs to band specific and not band specific blocks. Common IEs blocks may be sent to the FW once per command, instead of per band. This allows optimization of size of the command, which may be required by some drivers (eg. iwlmvm with newer firmware version). As this changes the mac80211 API, update all drivers to use the new version correctly, even if they don't (yet) make use of the split data.
