Man page 9 : ieee80211_rx_ni

ieee80211_rx_ni - receive frame (in process context)

void ieee80211_rx_ni(struct ieee80211_hw *  hw , struct sk_buff *  skb );

hw
    the hardware this frame came in on

skb
    the buffer to receive, owned by mac80211 after this call

Like ieee80211_rx but can be called in process context (internally disables bottom halves).

Calls to this function, ieee80211_rx and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe may not be mixed for a single hardware. Must not run concurrently with ieee80211_tx_status or ieee80211_tx_status_ni.
