From 7b08b3b4a973de20d28d8a322c002c0a5444002a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alina Friedrichsen Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 17:58:34 +0100 Subject: mac80211: Remove TSF atomic requirement from the documentation The atomic requirement for the TSF callbacks is outdated. get_tsf() is only called by ieee80211_rx_bss_info() which is indirectly called by the work queue ieee80211_sta_work(). In the same context are called several other non-atomic functions, too. And the atomic requirement causes problems for drivers of USB wifi cards.
