Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: avoid scheduling while atomic in mesh_rx_plink_frame
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:09:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1277154547-5851-1-git-send-email-linville@tuxdriver.com> (raw)

While mesh_rx_plink_frame holds sta->lock...

mesh_rx_plink_frame ->
	mesh_plink_inc_estab_count ->
		ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify

...but ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify is allowed to sleep.  A driver
taking advantage of that allowance can cause a scheduling while
atomic bug.  Similar paths exist for mesh_plink_dec_estab_count,
so work around those as well.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16099

Also, correct a minor kerneldoc comment error (mismatched function names).
