From 2940bb69fd84047e78fdb1868a8b894df5584255 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 8 May 2008 14:30:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] wireless: Add missing locking to cfg80211_dev_rename device_rename only performs useful and race free validity checking at the optional sysfs level so depending on it for all of the validity checking in cfg80211_dev_rename is racy. Instead implement all of the needed validity checking and locking in cfg80211_dev_rename. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
