From 1ddbbb0c83de82599b1baf14bf6bb69a774d4fc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2013 22:39:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: mvm: use pre-RCU-sync sta removal operation iwlmvm relies on the current mac80211 behaviour of allowing station pointers to be valid for an RCU grace period after returning from the sta_state() callback. To optimise these cases, this behaviour is going away, so make the driver use the new sta_pre_rcu_remove() method to clear the pointer in the fw_id_to_mac_id[] array. Since this may happen while the station is still present in the firmware, don't set the pointer to NULL but to -ENOENT to mark this particular case. In client mode, the station is kept even longer (until marking the MAC as unassociated) so the drain flow must take this new behavior into account.
