By doing this we will be able to work on regulatory core components without having to have hog up the cfg80211_mutex. An example here is we no longer need to use the cfg80211_mutex during the country IE regulatory hint; by doing so we end up curing this new lockdep warning: ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.31-rc4-wl #12 ------------------------------------------------------- phy1/1709 is trying to acquire lock: (cfg80211_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [] regulatory_hint_11d+0x32/0x3f0 [cfg80211] but task is already holding lock: (&ifmgd->mtx){+.+.+.}, at: [] ieee80211_sta_work+0x108/0x10f0 [mac80211] which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #3 (&ifmgd->mtx){+.+.+.}: [] __lock_acquire+0xd76/0x12b0 [] lock_acquire+0xe3/0x120 [] mutex_lock_nested+0x44/0x350 [] ieee80211_mgd_auth+0x108/0x1f0 [mac80211] [] ieee80211_auth+0x13/0x20 [mac80211] [] __cfg80211_mlme_auth+0x1b1/0x2a0 [cfg80211] [] cfg80211_mlme_auth+0x86/0xc0 [cfg80211] [] nl80211_authenticate+0x21d/0x230 [cfg80211] [] genl_rcv_msg+0x1b6/0x1f0 [] netlink_rcv_skb+0x89/0xb0 [] genl_rcv+0x29/0x40 [] netlink_unicast+0x29d/0x2b0 [] netlink_sendmsg+0x214/0x300 [] sock_sendmsg+0x107/0x130 [] sys_sendmsg+0x189/0x320 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [] 0xffffffffffffffff -> #2 (&wdev->mtx){+.+.+.}: [] __lock_acquire+0xd76/0x12b0 [] lock_acquire+0xe3/0x120 [] mutex_lock_nested+0x44/0x350 [] cfg80211_netdev_notifier_call+0x1a4/0x390 [cfg80211] [] notifier_call_chain+0x3f/0x80 [] raw_notifier_call_chain+0x11/0x20 [] dev_open+0x10a/0x120 [] dev_change_flags+0x9d/0x1e0 [] devinet_ioctl+0x6fe/0x760 [] inet_ioctl+0x94/0xc0 [] sock_ioctl+0x6a/0x290 [] vfs_ioctl+0x31/0xa0 [] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8a/0x5c0 [] sys_ioctl+0x99/0xa0 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [] 0xffffffffffffffff -> #1 (&rdev->mtx){+.+.+.}: [] __lock_acquire+0xd76/0x12b0 [] lock_acquire+0xe3/0x120 [] mutex_lock_nested+0x44/0x350 [] cfg80211_get_dev_from_ifindex+0x60/0x90 [cfg80211] [] get_rdev_dev_by_info_ifindex+0x6f/0xa0 [cfg80211] [] nl80211_set_interface+0x3b/0x260 [cfg80211] [] genl_rcv_msg+0x1b6/0x1f0 [] netlink_rcv_skb+0x89/0xb0 [] genl_rcv+0x29/0x40 [] netlink_unicast+0x29d/0x2b0 [] netlink_sendmsg+0x214/0x300 [] sock_sendmsg+0x107/0x130 [] sys_sendmsg+0x189/0x320 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [] 0xffffffffffffffff other info that might help us debug this: 3 locks held by phy1/1709: #0: ((wiphy_name(local->hw.wiphy))){+.+.+.}, at: [] worker_thread+0x19d/0x340 #1: (&ifmgd->work){+.+.+.}, at: [] worker_thread+0x19d/0x340 #2: (&ifmgd->mtx){+.+.+.}, at: [] ieee80211_sta_work+0x108/0x10f0 [mac80211] Reported-by: Reinette Chatre Signed-off-by: Luis R.
