Any comment on my patch ? Cedric Voncken -----Message d'origine----- De : linux-wireless-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-wireless-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] De la part de cedric voncken Envoyé : vendredi 19 avril 2013 11:21 À : linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc : cedric voncken Objet : [PATCH] mac80211: Fix driver crash when STA_NOTIFY_AWAKE occures If the device uses the HT mode and receives a frame from a sta whith state < IEEE80211_STA_ASSOC then the null pointer exception crashes the Linnux kernel. In the case of ath9k, the function ath_tx_node_init is indirectly called by drv_sta_state (in net/mac80211/driver-ops.h) only when the sta_state goes to IEEE80211_STA_ASSOC from IEEE80211_STA_AUTH.
