[PATCHv2 2/4] ath10k: make sure to not use invalid beacon pointer

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

 



If DMA mapping of next beacon failed it was
possible for next SWBA to access a pointer that
was already unmapped and freed. This could cause
memory corruption.
