From 6a3be6e6e7feb4cb35275475d6a863b748d59cc3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland Vossen Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 11:51:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: brcm80211: bugfix for softmac crash on multi cpu configurations Solved a locking issue that resulted in driver crashes with the 43224 and 43225 chips. The problem has been reported on several fora. Root cause was two fold: hardware was being manipulated by two unsynchronized threads, and a scan operation could interfere with an ongoing dynamic calibration process. Fix was to invoke a lock on wl_ops_config() operation and to set internal flags when a scan operation is started and stopped. Please add this to the staging-linus branch.
