Subject: [PATCH 5/7] ath9k: race condition in SCANNING state check during ANI calibration
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:55:30 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1244651133-6537-6-git-send-email-senthilkumar@atheros.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1244651133-6537-5-git-send-email-senthilkumar@atheros.com>

ANI calibration shouldn't be done when we are not on our home channel.
This is already verified. However, it is racy. Fix this by proper
spin locks.
