From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-path: Received: from xc.sipsolutions.net ([83.246.72.84]:55794 "EHLO sipsolutions.net" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1751418AbYIFQNS (ORCPT ); Sat, 6 Sep 2008 12:13:18 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: make conf_tx non-atomic From: Johannes Berg To: John Linville Cc: Michael Buesch , linux-wireless , Ivo van Doorn Content-Type: text/plain Date: Sat, 06 Sep 2008 18:13:08 +0200 Message-Id: <1220717588.5376.0.camel@johannes.berg> (sfid-20080906_181322_345780_C344134A) Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: The conf_tx callback currently needs to be atomic, this requirement is just because it can be called from scanning. This rearranges it slightly to only update while not scanning (which is fine, we'll be getting beacons when associated) and thus removes the atomic requirement.
