From 7b99a7c2dab7efe7c265b66fedbf3444958ebfe3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2010 12:55:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix sw scan locking The recent scan overhaul broke locking because now we can jump to code that attempts to unlock, while we don't have the mutex held. Fix this by holding the mutex around all the relevant code. Reported-by: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
