[PATCH] mwl8k: disable softirqs when accessing sta_notify_list

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

 



Use spin_[un]lock_bh in mwl8k_sta_notify().  The sta_notify handler is
required to be atomic, yet it can be called in process context, so make
sure one call won't preempt another.

I found it by accident (sparse reported it, but presumably for a wrong
reason) and I have no hardware to test the patch on, but I believe it's
correct.
