Subject: [PATCH 1/2] iwlwifi: remove unnecessary locking
Date: Sun,  6 Feb 2011 09:42:52 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1297014173-28964-2-git-send-email-wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1297014173-28964-1-git-send-email-wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This code, and the places that set the variable
is_internal_short_scan and the vif pointers are
all protected by the mutex, there's no point in
locking the spinlock here as well (any more).
