I double-check my patch and the ->mac->xxx calls are still under the lock.
I think that lock is trying to protect priv struct and related data, so i
just remove some functions have no bearing on priv struct.
It's preventing parallel invocations of the ->mac->xxx calls.
The other instances are in device open/close, where RTNL semaphore is
held, and no other code paths in the driver can be active.
You need the lock.
Do you have a new patch for this problem after David's advice?
I am reviewing the patches sent some weeks ago for driver looking
and I can also try to fix this in case of you have no news.
Let me know,
Regards,
peppe
