Linville" Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Fix bss_info_changed comment regarding sleeping Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2010 15:20:44 +0200 Cc: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org, Johannes Berg , rt2x00 Users List MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="us-ascii" Message-Id: <201006071520.45664.IvDoorn@gmail.com> Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: The bss_info_changed callback function is allowed to sleep, however when operating in Mesh mode, it can be used in atomic context. Fixing it would seem to require major locking changes in the mesh implementation.
