Subject: mac80211: fix deadlock in sta->lock
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b83f4e15e65d94f6f56924b0b06a77a7ca2b4d8a;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

mac80211: fix deadlock in sta->lock

This patch fixes a deadlock of sta->lock use, occurring while changing
tx aggregation states, as dev_queue_xmit end up in new function
test_and_clear_sta_flags that uses that lock thus leading to deadlock
