[PATCH] net: mac80211: rx.c: Avoid RCU list traversal under mutex

From: <hidden>
Date: 2020-02-23 14:33:48
Also in: linux-kernel-mentees, linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: mac80211, the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <redacted>

local->sta_mtx is held in __ieee80211_check_fast_rx_iface().
No need to use list_for_each_entry_rcu() as it also requires
a cond argument to avoid false lockdep warnings when not used in
RCU read-side section (with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST).
Therefore use list_for_each_entry();
