Subject: iwlagn: avoid sleep in softirq context
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc4~22^2^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=964d2777438bf7687324243d38ade538d9bbfe3c

iwlagn: avoid sleep in softirq context

__ieee80211_tasklet_handler -> __ieee80211_rx ->
	__ieee80211_rx_handle_packet -> ieee80211_invoke_rx_handlers ->
	ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt -> ieee80211_crypto_tkip_decrypt ->
	ieee80211_tkip_decrypt_data -> iwl4965_mac_update_tkip_key ->
	iwl_scan_cancel_timeout -> msleep

Ooops!

Avoid the sleep by changing iwl_scan_cancel_timeout with
iwl_scan_cancel and simply returning on failure if the scan persists.
This will cause hardware decryption to fail and we'll handle a few more
frames with software decryption.
