From dc6676b7f2c2072ec05254aaca32e99f87a8a417 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:23:03 +0200 Subject: mac80211: sta_info_flush() fixes When the IBSS code tries to flush the STA list, it does so in an atomic context. Flushing isn't safe there, however, and requires the RTNL, so we need to defer it to a workqueue. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
