Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fix oops on trying to hold the wrong spinlock
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2008 04:12:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081016111255.GA5899@tesla> (raw)
This fixes on oops when you get try to send a BA to an 11n AP.
The oops occurred because we were trying to aquire an incorrect
spinlock.
We were trying to hold the wrong spinlock due to a typo
on IEEE80211_BAR_CTL_TID_S's definition. We use this to
compute the tid number and then hold this this tid number's
spinlock.
