[PATCH 0/8] mac80211: speed up station cleanup/AP shutdown

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Inspired by hostap shutdown potentially taking a long time (which is
in part also its fault), I took a closer look at the station removal
code and I think it's too complex. Only a single driver (iwlmvm) has
a need for an RCU grace period after sta_state() returns, and that
can easily be addressed differently.

So consolidate many of the synchronize_rcu()/_net() in these paths
and get rid of the rcu_barrier() stuff completely.

Testing is still pending, but it should improve timing.
