Subject: ath9k: fix race with IEEE80211_CONF_PS checks
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32-rc1~703^2~506^2~12
X-Git-Url: http://ftp.safe.ca/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=96148326c4b54db5c384def1a5ab285c359d1395;p=safe%2Fjmp%2Flinux-2.6

ath9k: fix race with IEEE80211_CONF_PS checks

There is a small window where the mac80211 changes the IEEE80211_CONF_PS
flag, and then informs the driver about the change. We have a race
condition if we are checking the flag in the same time. Avoid it by
introducing a local variable, and using that instead of checking the
IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag directly.

This fix the problem reported by Luis:
