[PATCH] cfg80211: hold bss_lock while updating nontrans_list

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

 



Synchronize additions to nontrans_list of transmitting BSS with
bss_lock to avoid races. Also when cfg80211_add_nontrans_list() fails
__cfg80211_unlink_bss() needs bss_lock to be held (has lockdep assert
on bss_lock). So protect the whole block with bss_lock to avoid
races and warnings. Found during code review.

Fixes: 0b8fb8235be8 ("cfg80211: Parsing of Multiple BSSID information in scanning")
