From f5521b13880f4f4f612e1d20dd4f565122d16e04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 22:06:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: use correct station flags lock This code is modifying the station flags, and as such should hold the flags lock so it can do so atomically vs. other flags modifications and readers. This issue was introduced when this code was added in eccb8e8f, as it used the wrong lock (thus not fixing the race that was previously documented in a comment.)
