From 5078b2e32ad4b1f753b1c837c15892202f753c97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 17:04:42 -0400 Subject: cfg80211: fix race between core hint and driver's custom apply Its possible for cfg80211 to have scheduled the work and for the global workqueue to not have kicked in prior to a cfg80211 driver's regulatory hint or wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). Although this is very unlikely its possible and should fix this race. When this race would happen you are expected to have hit a null pointer dereference panic.
