From 66cb54bd24086b2d871a03035de9b0e79b2b725e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Khoroshilov Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 00:44:32 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] carl9170: Fix mismatch in carl9170_op_set_key mutex lock-unlock If is_main_vif(ar, vif) reports that we have to fall back to software encryption, we goto err_softw; before locking ar->mutex. As a result, we have unprotected call to carl9170_set_operating_mode and unmatched mutex_unlock. The patch fix the issue by adding mutex_lock before goto.
