Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: fix locking for SIWFREQ
Date: Sat, 08 Aug 2009 11:03:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1249722238.31670.17.camel@johannes.local> (raw)
"cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfaces"
contained a locking bug -- in the managed-mode SIWFREQ
call it would end up running into a lock recursion.
This fixes it by not checking that particular interface
for a channel that it needs to stay on, which is as it
should be as that's the interface we're setting the
channel for.
