From 61405e97788b1bc4e7c5be5b4ec04a73fc11bac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 17:04:41 -0400 Subject: cfg80211: fix in nl80211_set_reg() There is a race on access to last_request and its alpha2 through reg_is_valid_request() and us possibly processing first another regulatory request on another CPU. We avoid this improbably race by locking with the cfg80211_mutex as we should have done in the first place. While at it add the assert on locking on reg_is_valid_request().
