[PATCH] brcmfmac: fix txglomming scatter-gather packet transfers

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

 



The driver concatenates multiple packets in one MMC transfer. For
scatter-gather to work the total length need to be multiple of 512
bytes. A pre-allocated buffer was used to add padding to accomplish
that. However, the length was not properly set and it was freed after
the first transfer causing a crash.

Hi John,

This patch is intended for 3.14 fixing a kernel crash. The patch applies
to the master branc of the wireless repository.

Regards,
Arend
