Hi Bernard, write_space callback may not always be called from softirq/tasklet context, it may be called from process context. Hence, read_lock_bh() is safer than read_lock(). I will resubmit the patch. Also, after looking at the below commit, I feel all other read_lock() in SIW driver should be replaced with BH variants. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/7cb001d4c4fa7e1cc1a55388a9544e160dddc610 Shall I also change all other occurances of read_lock() to read_lock_bh()? Thanks, Krishna.
