Subject: [29/38] mac80211: avoid scheduling while atomic in mesh_rx_plink_frame
Date: Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:30:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100806183202.594463680@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: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

commit c937019761a758f2749b1f3a032b7a91fb044753 upstream.

While mesh_rx_plink_frame holds sta->lock...

mesh_rx_plink_frame ->
	mesh_plink_inc_estab_count ->
		ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify

...but ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify is allowed to sleep.  A driver
taking advantage of that allowance can cause a scheduling while
atomic bug.  Similar paths exist for mesh_plink_dec_estab_count,
so work around those as well.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16099

Also, correct a minor kerneldoc comment error (mismatched function names).
