Subject: [PATCH] libertas: fix deadlock SIOCGIWSCAN handler
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc5~44^2~2^2~21
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=80e78ef74dffb2195e2a1164c18579180a76fd5b;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] libertas: fix deadlock SIOCGIWSCAN handler

Update signal quality before the locked scan result translation loop,
because calling libertas_prepare_and_send_command() with the
'waitforrsp' option grabs adapter->lock in the command return processing,
leading to the deadlock.
