[PATCH] ath9k: fix beacon resource related race condition

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

 



While releasing beacon slot, it can be accessed by beacon tasklet.
To avoid concurrency, beacon alert is disabled before
freeing beacon resource and it will be enabled again in the
persence of other beaconing mode interfaces.
