Subject: [28/38] cfg80211: dont get expired BSSes
Date: Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:30:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100806183202.509051537@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100806183250.GA23019@kroah.com>

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

commit ccb6c1360f8dd43303c659db718e7e0b24175db5 upstream.

When kernel-internal users use cfg80211_get_bss()
to get a reference to a BSS struct, they may end
up getting one that would have been removed from
the list if there had been any userspace access
to the list. This leads to inconsistencies and
problems.

Fix it by making cfg80211_get_bss() ignore BSSes
that cfg80211_bss_expire() would remove.

Fixes http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2180
