[PATCH 2/3] ath10k: clean up num_peers locking

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

 



The var was supposed to be protected by data_lock
but it wasn't so in all instances. It's actually
not necessary to have a spinlock protected
num_peers so drop it.

All instances of num_peers are already within
conf_mutex sections so use that.
