[RFC 2/2] mac80211: Fix bss ref leak.

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

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some of the calls to ieee80211_destroy_assoc_data should
be putting the bss reference and were not.  Add boolean
argument to tell that method whether or not it should put
the reference and fix calling code appropriately.

Grab the bss reference where the pointer is assigned
to make it easier to properly do reference counting.

Also add some comments to help clarify the bss ref-counting
logic.
