From 0bfbce18b9c11201ebf1cfbc0deeab7bdbfe32a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:49:58 +0200 Subject: nl80211: Avoid AP mode BUG_ON hang with invalid lock assert "cfg80211: add assert_cfg80211_lock() to ensure proper protection" added assert_cfg80211_lock() calls into various places. At least one of them, nl80211_send_wiphy(), should not have been there. That triggers the BUG_ON in assert_cfg80211_lock() and pretty much kills the kernel whenever someone runs hostapd.. Remove that call and make assert_cfg80211_lock() use WARN_ON instead of BUG_ON to be a bit more friendly to users. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
