ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() and ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() already exist, where the former allows the iterator function to sleep. Add ieee80211_iterate_stations() which is similar to ieee80211_iterate_stations_atomic() but allows the iterator to sleep. This is needed for adding SDIO support to the rtw88 driver. Some interators there are reading or writing registers. With the SDIO ops (sdio_readb, sdio_writeb and friends) this means that the iterator function may sleep. Signed-off-by: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@googlemail.com> --- v1 -> v2: - fixed kernel doc copy & paste (remove _atomic) as suggested by Ping-Ke and Johannes - added paragraph about driver authors having to be careful where they use this new function as suggested by Johannes include/net/mac80211.h | 21 +++++++++++++++++++++ net/mac80211/util.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 34 insertions(+)
