[PATCH] mac80211: fix iff_promiscs, iff_allmultis race
When we update the counters iff_promiscs and iff_allmultis
in struct ieee80211_local we have no common lock held to
protect them. The problem is that the update to each counter
may not be atomic, so we could end up with iff_promiscs == -1
in unfortunate conditions. To fix it, use atomic_t values.
It doesn't matter whether the two counters are updated
together atomically or not, if there are two invocations
of set_multicast_list we will end up with multiple
configure_filter() invocations of which the latter will always
be correct.
