From: Ulrich Kunitz The signature of work functions changed recently from a context pointer to the work structure pointer. This caused a problem in the ieee80211softmac code, because the ieee80211softmac_assox_work function has been called directly with a parameter explicitly casted to (void*). This compiled correctly but resulted in a softlock, because mutex_lock was called with the wrong memory address. The patch fixes the problem. Another issue was a wrong call of the schedule_work function. Softmac works again and this fixes the problem I mentioned earlier in the zd1211rw rx tasklet patch. The patch is against Linus' tree (commit af1713e0). Signed-off-by: Ulrich Kunitz Acked-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: Larry Finger --- John, This patch should be pushed upstream to 2.6.20. At the moment, the work struct changes have not yet propagated to wireless-2.6. When they do, it will be needed there as well.
