Re: [PATCH] wext: let get_wireless_stats() sleep

From: Johannes Berg <redacted>

A number of drivers (recently including cfg80211-based ones)
assume that all wireless handlers, including statistics, can
sleep and they often also implicitly assume that the rtnl is
held around their invocation. This is almost always true now
except when reading from sysfs:

 ...

Fix this by using the rtnl instead of dev_base_lock.

Fair enough, applied, thanks!
