This is the call path
in main.c ... INIT_WORK(&wl->tx_work, wl1271_tx_work);
jumps to tx.c...wl1271_tx_work(struct work_struct *work)
calls wl1271_tx_work(struct work_struct *work)
calls wlcore_tx_work_locked(struct wl1271 *wl)
calls wl1271_skb_queue_head()
calls wl12xx_tx_get_hlid()
calls wl12xx_tx_get_hlid_ap() .... where sta is needed.
But I could not find any point in the call path where I could grab the
sta pointer and pass it through. I will move the rcu into
wl12xx_tx_get_hlid_ap(), but I do not see any cheaper way here as using rcu.
Greetings Thomas
