[ 85/85] mac80211: call drv_get_tsf() in sleepable context

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2012-10-26 00:09:24
Also in: lkml

3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Pedersen <redacted>

commit 55fabefe3695241e6ccfa0cd4974f3fa497693dc upstream.

The call to drv_get/set_tsf() was put on the workqueue to perform tsf
adjustments since that function might sleep. However it ended up inside
a spinlock, whose critical section must be atomic. Do tsf adjustment
outside the spinlock instead, and get rid of a warning.
