[PATCH 5/6] mac80211: sta_info_flush() fixes

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

 



When the IBSS code tries to flush the STA list, it does so in
an atomic context. Flushing isn't safe there, however, and
requires the RTNL, so we need to defer it to a workqueue.
