Subject: [PATCH 4/6] mac80211: clean up sta_info_destroy() users wrt. RCU/locking
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:23:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080331172435.414575000@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080331172258.541914000@sipsolutions.net

Calling sta_info_destroy() doesn't require RCU-synchronisation
before-hand because it does that internally. However, it does
require rtnl-locking so insert that where necessary.

Also clean up the code doing it internally to be a bit clearer and
not synchronize twice if keys are configured.
