Subject: [PATCH v2] mac80211: mesh: fix RCU warning
Date: Fri, 24 May 2019 21:16:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1558757784-23179-1-git-send-email-thomas@eero.com> (raw)

ifmsh->csa is an RCU-protected pointer. The writer context
in ieee80211_mesh_finish_csa() is already mutually
exclusive with wdev->sdata.mtx, but the RCU checker did
not know this. Use rcu_dereference_protected() to avoid a
warning.

fixes the following warning:

v2: rcu_read_lock() doesn't make sense. Use rcu_dereference_protected() (Johannes)
