Subject: mac80211: use separate spinlock for sta flags
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5a9f7b047e81a73a1ce3e42ef87c28a61fd4df24;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

mac80211: use separate spinlock for sta flags

David Ellingsworth posted a bug that was only noticable on UP/NO-PREEMPT
and Michael correctly analysed it to be a spin_lock_bh() section within
a spin_lock_irqsave() section. This adds a separate spinlock for the
sta_info flags to fix that issue and avoid having to take much care
about where the sta flag manipulation functions are called.
