[PATCH] mac80211: fix iff_promiscs, iff_allmultis race
When we update the counters iff_promiscs and iff_allmultis in struct ieee80211_local we have no common lock held to protect them. The problem is that the update to each counter may not be atomic, so we could end up with iff_promiscs == -1 in unfortunate conditions. To fix it, use atomic_t values. It doesn't matter whether the two counters are updated together atomically or not, if there are two invocations of set_multicast_list we will end up with multiple configure_filter() invocations of which the latter will always be correct.
