Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Do not call cfg80211_send_disassoc with rcu held
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 23:04:48 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090417200448.GA24430@jm.kir.nu> (raw)
cfg80211_send_mlme_event() uses GFP_KERNEL and could sleep. Better not
call it with rcu_read_lock held.
Reported-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
