    Subject[patch 02/22] iwlagn: avoid sleep in softirq context
    2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

    ------------------

    From: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

    commit 964d2777438bf7687324243d38ade538d9bbfe3c upstream.

    __ieee80211_tasklet_handler -> __ieee80211_rx ->
    __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet -> ieee80211_invoke_rx_handlers ->
    ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt -> ieee80211_crypto_tkip_decrypt ->
    ieee80211_tkip_decrypt_data -> iwl4965_mac_update_tkip_key ->
    iwl_scan_cancel_timeout -> msleep

    Ooops!

    Avoid the sleep by changing iwl_scan_cancel_timeout with
    iwl_scan_cancel and simply returning on failure if the scan persists.
    This will cause hardware decryption to fail and we'll handle a few more
    frames with software decryption.
