From 7dcdd073bf78bb6958bbc12a1a47754a0f3c4721 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:30:48 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] rtl8187: Fix lockups due to concurrent access to config routine Some users of the RTL8187B have experienced difficulties since commit 49292d56352a6ab90d04c3448dd8b6106dfef2d6 that introduced the power management wext hooks. This difficulty has not made much sense until it was realized that it was possible for mac80211 to make a call to the config routine while that routine was already being executed. On this device, it is necessary to loopback the TX when changing channels. Unless this is properly restored, the device will lockup. A mutex now protects the device state, and the private data in several places. The problem was found by Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski , who also suggested this type of fix.
