Subject: [PATCH wireless-dev, net-2.6.22] cfg80211: fix locking in wiphy_new
Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:14:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1177593262.6814.75.camel@johannes.berg> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200704251806.46270.netdev@axxeo.de>
This patch fixes the locking in wiphy new. Ingo Oeser <netdev@axxeo.de>
noticed that locking in the error case was wrong and also suggested this
fix.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

As with other patches, this is diffed against wireless-dev but applies
against net-2.6.22 (or is that net-2.6 now?) with some offset (but no
fuzz.)
