[PATCH 5/9] staging: ath6kl: use free_netdev(netdev) instead of kfree()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It is not guaranteed that free_netdev() is macro.
Freeing netdev without free_netdev() leads to net, tx leaks.
I might lead to dereferencing freed pointer.
