From 4e141dad266908735967b0961c8d90187825e0bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Kazior Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2014 13:14:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: protect AP VLAN list with local->mtx It was impossible to change chanctx of master AP for AP VLANs because the copy function requires RTNL which can't be simply taken in mac80211 code due to possible deadlocks. This is required for future chanctx reservation that re-bind vifs to new chanctx. This requires safe AP VLAN iteration without RTNL. Now VLANs can be iterated while holding either RTNL or local->mtx because the list is modified while holding both of these locks.
