rc80211-pid: fix last_sample initialization

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

 



Fix last_sample initialization. kzalloc'ing the per-STA data wasn't enough,
as jiffies can assume negative values as well. This fixes a bug which
prevented correct PID operation for a while after booting.

Thanks to Michael Buesch for reporting this.
