From a71d62dbf3f0523b7a456333196cb26cf783fe92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2009 23:41:27 +0200 Subject: cfg80211: fix race in giwrate cfg80211_wext_giwrate doesn't lock the wdev, so it cannot access current_bss race-free. Also, there's little point in trying to ask the driver for an AP that it never told us about, so avoid that case. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
