Subject: cfg80211/wext: fix message ordering
|
|
|
|
Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier
|
|
call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly
|
|
since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the
|
|
kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example,
|
|
the following can happen:
|
|
|
|
5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default
|
|
link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
|
|
5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>
|
|
link/ether
|
|
|
|
when setting the interface down causes the wext message.
|
|
|
|
To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function
|
|
and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier.
