From bc05116ab33d30342e2b4b1bcc6d6e1184e9df97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Copeland Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:11:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: fix recursive locking in ath5k_beacon_update ath5k_beacon_update takes sc->lock upon entry. However, it is only called from within ath5k_config_interface, which already holds the lock. Remove the unnecessary locking from ath5k_beacon_update.
