[PATCH] mac80211: clean up station cleanup timer

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

We currently run this timer exactly once when
a new mac80211 device is registered, but that
is completely pointless since it will have no
work to do at all. Therefore, remove that and
also simplify some code using the timer.
