Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: move some RCU locking into an if branch
Date: Sat, 06 Sep 2008 21:27:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1220729221.10102.11.camel@johannes.berg> (raw)

The if itself doesn't need to be protected, so move in the RCU
locking to avoid doing anything at all when the condition isn't
true.
