From f81a9dedaff434604c7fc3d9c299d277b76db0a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Pedersen Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:54:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: update mesh beacon on workqueue Instead of updating the mesh beacon immediately when requested (which would require the sdata_lock()), defer it to the mac80211 workqueue. Fixes yet another deadlock on calling sta_info_flush() with the sdata_lock() held from ieee80211_stop_mesh(). We could just drop the sdata_lock() around the mesh_sta_cleanup() call, but this path is also taken from several non-locked error paths.
