Subject: wireless: Add missing locking to cfg80211_dev_rename
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~969^2~441^2~5
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2940bb69fd84047e78fdb1868a8b894df5584255;p=linux-2.6

wireless: Add missing locking to cfg80211_dev_rename

device_rename only performs useful and race free validity
checking at the optional sysfs level so depending on it
for all of the validity checking in cfg80211_dev_rename
is racy.

Instead implement all of the needed validity checking
and locking in cfg80211_dev_rename.
