From 17512dc3b7fc9ff1a60d3748ce87c323df507c3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Igor Perminov Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2009 23:55:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: Fix for race condition while update beacon The patch "Implement set_tim callback for all drivers" can cause kernel oops in rt73usb_write_beacon. The oops is caused by one of the following race conditions: * In case of two near calls to set_tim: rt2x00lib_beacondone_iter is cleaning the beacon skb, whereas rt73usb_write_beacon is still using it. * In case of two near updates of beacon: first as the result of set_tim and second as the result of a call from an application (e.g. hostapd). This patch fixes the race condition by rearranging the update logic and guarding rt2x00_intf->beacon->skb with a mutex.
