Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: Don't unlock priv->mutex if it isn't locked
Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:22:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <adazlrk88d6.fsf@cisco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <c4e36d110804231600l4b540a3ka637dedca0d7687b@mail.gmail.com> (Zdenek Kabelac's message of "Thu, 24 Apr 2008 01:00:34 +0200")

Commit b716bb91 ("iwlwifi: Cancel scanning upon association") moved the
test of priv->vif in iwl{3945,4964}_mac_config_interface() outside of
where priv->mutex is held, but still tries to do mutex_unlock() on
return.  This is clearly wrong and triggers a nasty lockdep warning when
this codepath is triggered.  Fix this by removing the mutex_unlock().

Assuming the original b716bb91 commit is correct, this is probably the
right fix.  But I'm not sure if it's correct to look at priv->vif
without holding priv->mutex, so maybe the fix is more complicated.
