It seems to me that we should avoid using the mutex version of ieee80211_iterate_*() because it can lead to more of these issues. So from my point of view the general idea of the code from your attached patch looks good. That said, I'm still very new to mac80211/cfg80211 so I'm also interested in other's opinions. > So, I add wrappers to iterate rtw_iterate_stas() and rtw_iterate_vifs() that > use _atomic version to collect sta and vif, and use list_for_each() to iterate. > Reference code is attached, and I'm still thinking if we can have better method. With "better method" do you mean something like in patch #2 from this series (using unsigned int num_si and struct rtw_sta_info *si[RTW_MAX_MAC_ID_NUM] inside the iter_data) are you thinking of a better way in general?
