+/**
+ * DOC: Interface list locking
+ *
+ * The interface list in each struct ieee80211_local is protected
+ * three-fold:
+ *
+ * (1) modifications may only be done under the RTNL
+ * (2) modifications and readers are protected against each other by
+ * the iflist_mtx.
+ * (3) modifications are done in an RCU manner so atomic readers
+ * can traverse the list in RCU-safe blocks.
+ *
+ * As a consequence, reads (traversals) of the list can be protected
+ * by either the RTNL, the iflist_mtx or RCU.
