[PATCH] mac80211: make key locking clearer

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

The code in ieee80211_del_key() doesn't acquire the
key_mtx properly when it dereferences the keys. It
turns out that isn't actually necessary since the
key_mtx itself seems to be redundant since all key
manipulations are done under the RTNL, but as long
as we have the key_mtx we should use it the right
way too.
