Subject: [PATCH] rtw88: avoid circular locking between local->iflist_mtx and rtwdev->mutex
Date: Fri, 3 May 2019 14:29:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1556886547-23632-1-git-send-email-sgruszka@redhat.com> (raw)
Remove circular lock dependency by using atomic version of interfaces
iterate in watch_dog_work(), hence avoid taking local->iflist_mtx
(rtw_vif_watch_dog_iter() only update some data, it can be called from
atomic context). Fixes below LOCKDEP warning:
