From a08c1c1ac0c26229ca1ca45d554b209a56edc8be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kalle Valo Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:57:28 +0200 Subject: cfg80211: add feature to hold bss In beacon filtering there needs to be a way to not expire the BSS even when no beacons are received. Add an interface to cfg80211 to hold BSS and make sure that it's not expired. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: John W.

The solution is to open-code the device-getting in nl80211_set_wiphy and require holding the mutex around cfg80211_dev_rename rather than acquiring it within. Also fix a bug -- rtnl locking is expected by drivers so we need to provide it. Reported-by: Luis R. Rodriguez Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
