Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mac80211: Move num_sta_ps counter decrement after synchronize_rcu
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:02:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1327658573-477-3-git-send-email-helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1327658573-477-2-git-send-email-helmut.schaa@googlemail.com>
Unted the assumption that the sta struct is still accessible before the
synchronize_rcu call we should move the num_sta_ps counter decrement
after synchronize_rcu to avoid incorrect decrements if num_sta_ps.

Not sure if this really triggers in reality but it looks a bit more correct to me.
