[PATCH] mac80211: add missing rcu_barrier

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

mac80211 uses call_rcu() with functions that are
defined in the module, so it must use rcu_barrier()
at module exit time.

Luckily, this seems to not be a problem in practice
as module unload and unregistration takes a long
time and probably does multiple synchronize_rcu().

Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

Might want to apply this before the mesh patch that uses call_rcu I just
sent a few minutes ago.
