[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14] wifi: cfg80211: lock wiphy mutex for rfkill poll
Posted by Sasha Levin 2 years ago
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 8e2f6f2366219b3304b227bdd2f04b64c92e3e12 ]

We want to guarantee the mutex is held for pretty much
all operations, so ensure that here as well.

This can't even _build_ on this old kernel?!

Anyway, my locking rework only went into 6.7, so this doesn't make sense
in any stable kernel, it's just not required.
