-Subject: cfg80211/wext: fix message ordering
-
-Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier
-call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly
-since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the
-kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example,
-the following can happen:
-
-5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default
- link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
-5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>
- link/ether
-
-when setting the interface down causes the wext message.
-
-To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function
-and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier.
