[PATCH 6/6] rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix potential race condition

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

 



Flag rfchange_inprogress in struct rtl_ps_ctl is protected by a spinlock
in most routines but not in rtl8821ae_dm_watchdog() which could
lead to a race condition. The necessary locking to prevent this condition
is added.
