Subject: mac80211: Fixing sparse warning at sta_info.c
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=27bf88829f50cf1af2b052ecee2f6f0dbe4a5141;p=linux-beck.git

mac80211: Fixing sparse warning at sta_info.c

The commit 42624d4913a00219a8fdbb4bafd634d1d843be85
created following sparse warning
>net/mac80211/sta_info.c:965:24: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
>net/mac80211/sta_info.c:965:24:    expected struct tid_ampdu_tx *tid_tx
>net/mac80211/sta_info.c:965:24:    got struct tid_ampdu_tx [noderef] <asn:4>*<noident>

Making use of rcu_dereference_protected to fix the problem.

V2:
 - Replacing rcu_dereference with rcu_dereference_protected
   as suggested by Johannes.
 - Adding mutex_lock/unlock to satisfy the condition at
   rcu_dereference_protected
