From aee83eaff859694642b323553f93b9eb59141144 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 11:51:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: add missing device list locking When calling into the wext code from the NETDEV_UP notifier, we need to hold the devlist_mtx mutex as the wext code ends up calling into channel checks.
