From 782a6675119c76c071e74e2ddd98268f47770cba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2006 23:54:41 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Send wireless netlink events with a clean slate Drivers expect to be able to call wireless_send_event in arbitrary contexts. On the other hand, netlink really doesn't like being invoked in an IRQ context. So we need to postpone the sending of netlink skb's to a tasklet. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: John W.
