From d2460f4b2fa6dbdeec800414f9cf5b1fc8b71197 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2011 19:42:24 +0100 Subject: mac80211: add missing synchronize_rcu commit ad0e2b5a00dbec303e4682b403bb6703d11dcdb2 Author: Johannes Berg Date: Tue Jun 1 10:19:19 2010 +0200 mac80211: simplify key locking removed the synchronization against RCU and thus opened a race window where we can use a key for TX while it is already freed. Put a synchronisation into the right place to close that window. Reported-by: Jussi Kivilinna Cc: stable@kernel.org [2.6.36+] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
