From 27a737ff7cb062fb9cbceba9b44d60aa74862bfa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2013 23:17:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: always synchronize_net() during station removal If there are keys left during station removal, then a synchronize_net() will be done (for each key, I have a patch to address this for 3.10), otherwise it won't be done at all which causes issues because the station could be used for TX while it's being removed from the driver -- that might confuse the driver. Fix this by always doing synchronize_net() if no key was present any more.
