Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix dialog token allocator
Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 12:00:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1275300012.3586.11.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net> (raw)
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
The dialog token allocator has apparently been broken
since b83f4e15 ("mac80211: fix deadlock in sta->lock")
because it got moved out under the spinlock. Fix it.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Seems like a low-impact change ... could be backported to almost every
stable tree out there I guess since it was broken almost exactly three
years ago ... but does it matter? I guess not.
