From 368d06f5b0eefcbf37d677d3b65381310a251f03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "John W. Linville" Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:40:59 -0400 Subject: wireless: convert reg_regdb_search_lock to mutex Stanse discovered that kmalloc is being called with GFP_KERNEL while holding this spinlock. The spinlock can be a mutex instead, which also enables the removal of the unlock/lock around the lock/unlock of cfg80211_mutex and the call to set_regdom.
