From 3a4d4aa2d38e5305b5e93dffdc9dd2f975129328 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 16:41:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: remove bogus mod_timer() call The IBSS code has a bogus mod_timer(..., 0) call, we shouldn't ever pass a constant value to the function since any constant value could be in the future or the past. However, invoking the timer here is not necessary at all, since we just finished scanning and just need to have the IBSS code run again from the workqueue later, so factor out the work starting and use that instead.
