From b9c061bd4888b02bea1f60dcc82e43af01074db3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 13:29:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211/wext: fix message ordering commit cb150b9d23be6ee7f3a0fff29784f1c5b5ac514d upstream. Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example, the following can happen: 5: wlan1: mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: link/ether when setting the interface down causes the wext message. To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - Add default case in cfg80211_netdev_notifier_call() which bypasses the added wireless_nlevent_flush() (added upstream by commit 6784c7db8d43 "cfg80211: change return value of notifier function") - Adjust context] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- Reading git-format-patch failed
