In the drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c, there's recursive locking of

Should be fixed already:

I guess that didn't make it to -stable?
(cc stable!)

Not to worry, the commit that introduced it was
9d139c810a2aa17365cc548d0cd2a189d8433c65, which as far as I can tell
came in after 2.6.26.

git-describe 9d139c810a2aa17365cc548d0cd2a189d8433c65
v2.6.26-rc8-1219-g9d139c8

Fingers faster than brain. Why such a change went into -rc8? How long has this been in linux-next? It appeared in mmotm between 2008-07-15-15-39 and 2008-07-23-02-07 which I think correspond to -next appearance -- isn't it way too fast?
