I think instead we want: diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/rx.c b/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/rx.c index c7366b0..e446fed 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/rx.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/rx.c @@ -67,30 +67,32 @@ int lbs_process_rxed_packet(struct lbs_private *priv, struct sk_buff *skb) lbs_deb_enter(LBS_DEB_RX); BUG_ON(!skb); skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE; - if (priv->wdev->iftype == NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR) - return process_rxed_802_11_packet(priv, skb); + if (priv->wdev->iftype == NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR) { + ret = process_rxed_802_11_packet(priv, skb); + goto done; + } p_rx_pd = (struct rxpd *) skb->data; p_rx_pkt = (struct rxpackethdr *) ((u8 *)p_rx_pd + le32_to_cpu(p_rx_pd->pkt_ptr)); dev = lbs_mesh_set_dev(priv, dev, p_rx_pd); lbs_deb_hex(LBS_DEB_RX, "RX Data: Before chop rxpd", skb->data, min_t(unsigned int, skb->len, 100)); if (skb->len < (ETH_HLEN + 8 + sizeof(struct rxpd))) { lbs_deb_rx("rx err: frame received with bad length\n"); dev->stats.rx_length_errors++; - ret = 0; + ret = -EINVAL; dev_kfree_skb(skb); goto done; } lbs_deb_rx("rx data: skb->len - pkt_ptr = %d-%zd = %zd\n", skb->len, (size_t)le32_to_cpu(p_rx_pd->pkt_ptr), skb->len - (size_t)le32_to_cpu(p_rx_pd->pkt_ptr)); Since that (a) preserves the enter/leave balance when monitor mode is enabled, and (b) fixes the return code that has been 0 since the driver was added to the tree in early 2007. Dave Woodhouse fixed the process_rxed_802_11_packet() return code for EINVAL case in commit 7bf02c29 from late 2007, and I think the normal codepath should do EINVAL too. (though it turns out nothing cares about the return code anyway, we should still fix it) Dan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
