[PATCH 04/21] rt2x00: Make periodic beacon updates for PCI devices atomic

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

 



From: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Allow the beacondone and pretbtt functions to update the beacon from
atomic context by using the beacon update functions with caller locking.

This is a preparation for moving the periodic beacon handling into
tasklets that require atomic context.
