From 0b7dff4faed07f55be2a98dd0eafc02623174236 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2012 09:49:14 +0100 Subject: mac80211: cancel work instead of waiting for it to do nothing If the sdata work is pending while the interface is stopped, we currently flush it. If it's not running this means waiting for it to run, which could take a while if the workqueue is backlogged. However, the work exits right away if it starts to run while the interface is already stopping. There's no point in waiting for that, so use cancel_work_sync() instead.
