Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Ensure tid_start_tx is protected by sta->lock.
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:08:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371071324-12440-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

All accesses of the tid_start_tx lock should be protected
by sta->lock if there is any chance that another thread
could still be accessing the sta object.
