Subject: cfg80211: fix in nl80211_set_reg()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=61405e97788b1bc4e7c5be5b4ec04a73fc11bac2;p=linux-beck.git

cfg80211: fix in nl80211_set_reg()

There is a race on access to last_request and its alpha2
through reg_is_valid_request() and us possibly processing
first another regulatory request on another CPU. We avoid
this improbably race by locking with the cfg80211_mutex as
we should have done in the first place. While at it add
the assert on locking on reg_is_valid_request().
