[PATCH] mac80211: remove rtnl locking in ieee80211_sta.c
The rtnl is held in ieee80211_sta.c to prevent some potential configuration races with userspace. Unfortunately, it also has the potential for deadlocks on interface down. This patch removes the rtnl locking to eliminate the deadlocks. Signed-off-by: Michael Wu <flamingice@sourmilk.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
