From 87a270625a89fc841f1a7e21aae6176543d8385c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2021 10:22:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix locking in ieee80211_start_ap error path We need to hold the local->mtx to release the channel context, as even encoded by the lockdep_assert_held() there.
