From 458f4f9e960b9a3b674c4b87d996eef186b1fe83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2012 15:47:38 +0100 Subject: regulatory: use RCU to protect global and wiphy regdomains To simplify the locking and not require cfg80211_mutex (which nl80211 uses to access the global regdomain) and also to make it possible for drivers to access their wiphy->regd safely, use RCU to protect these pointers.
