Subject: [PATCH 21/23] mac80211: allow drivers to sleep in ampdu_action
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2010 10:21:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100610082232.670442519@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100610082128.641664439@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.
