      wext: let get_wireless_stats() sleep · a160ee69
      Johannes Berg authored
      A number of drivers (recently including cfg80211-based ones)
      assume that all wireless handlers, including statistics, can
      sleep and they often also implicitly assume that the rtnl is
      held around their invocation. This is almost always true now
      except when reading from sysfs:
      
        BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:280

      Fix this by using the rtnl instead of dev_base_lock.
