[PATCH 1/8 v2.6.31 and w-t ] iwlwifi: revamp bss_info_changed

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

My earlier patch,
	"mac80211: unify config_interface and bss_info_changed"
introduced a bug in iwlwifi where it will do some things
incorrectly now when reassociating.

Revamp iwl_bss_info_changed to fix that issue and make it
easier to read. Also, while at it, add comments about things
that it should do but currently doesn't.

Finally, also improve the locking in the function.
