From 051007d9e281cd8ea603a4cc4c96b0170b26c7e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 23:49:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: optimise roaming time again The last fixes re-added the RCU synchronize penalty on roaming to fix the races. Split up sta_info_flush() now to get rid of that again, and let managed mode (and only it) delay the actual destruction.
