Subject: [PATCH 0/2] station management complexity reduction
Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:03:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111214130338.347106528@sipsolutions.net> (raw)

The complexity of locking in sta_info.c has bothered
me for a while, and it would not have been possible to
inform drivers of station state in a sleeping callback
from IBSS anyway.

Make IBSS not add the stations in RX context, and thus
reduce complexity in sta_info and actually make the new
sta_info_move_state() sleeping.
