From aa7a00809cf6afe3cd6f5af2889110b47b798667 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eyal Shapira Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2012 14:26:16 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: avoid using synchronize_rcu in ieee80211_set_probe_resp This could take a while (100ms+) and may delay sending assoc resp in AP mode with WPS or P2P GO (as setting the probe resp takes place there). We've encountered situations where the delay was big enough to cause connection problems with devices like Galaxy Nexus. Switch to using call_rcu with a free handler.
