There is a circular locking dependency when configuring the hardware ARP filters on association, occurring when flushing the mac80211 workqueue. This is what happens: [ 92.026800] ======================================================= [ 92.030507] [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] [ 92.030507] 2.6.34-04781-g2b2c009 #85 [ 92.030507] ------------------------------------------------------- [ 92.030507] modprobe/5225 is trying to acquire lock: [ 92.030507] ((wiphy_name(local->hw.wiphy))){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8105b5c0>] flush_workq ueue+0x0/0xb0 [ 92.030507] [ 92.030507] but task is already holding lock: [ 92.030507] (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812b9ce2>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20 [ 92.030507] [ 92.030507] which lock already depends on the new lock.

Fix the problem by rewriting the way the hardware ARP filter list is handled - i.e. make a copy of the address list to the bss_conf struct, and provide that list to the hardware driver when needed. The current patch will enable filtering also in promiscuous mode. This may need to be changed in the future.
