Subject: [RFC v2 21/22] mac80211: allow drivers to sleep in ampdu_action
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:02:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100609150456.978159079@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100609150142.227469359@sipsolutions.net

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Allow drivers to sleep, and indicate this in
the documentation. ath9k has some locking I
don't understand, so keep it safe and disable
BHs in it, all other drivers look fine with
the context change.
