From c771c9d8da1e8292ef8bf7fd4ce135dacc650130 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 22:54:03 +0100 Subject: mac80211: add interface list lock Using only the RTNL has a number of problems, most notably that ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() and other interface list traversals cannot be done from the internal workqueue because it needs to be flushed under the RTNL. This patch introduces a new mutex that protects the interface list against modifications. A more detailed explanation is part of the code change. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
