[PATCH] mac80211: fix spinlock recursion

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

 



When STAs are expired, we need to hold the sta_lock. Using
the same lock for keys too would then mean we'd need another
key free function, and that'll just lead to confusion, so just
use a new spinlock for all key lists.
