Subject: [PATCH] wireless: Add missing locking to cfg80211_dev_rename
Date: Thu, 08 May 2008 14:30:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1ej8ccwlx.fsf_-_@frodo.ebiederm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080507190838.GA4467@suse.de> (Greg KH's message of "Wed, 7 May 2008 12:08:38 -0700")
device_rename only performs useful and race free validity
checking at the optional sysfs level so depending on it
for all of the validity checking in cfg80211_dev_rename
is racy.
Instead implement all of the needed validity checking
and locking in cfg80211_dev_rename.
