This patch fixes a crash which is triggered by __ieee80211_beacon_get returning NULL. This causes sky_copy to crash later unless the hardware supports BEACON_TX_STATUS feature. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- "mac80211: Copy tx'ed beacons to monitor mode" added the skb_copy. There are few other possibilities to do this. This is just one. --- net/mac80211/tx.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/mac80211/tx.c b/net/mac80211/tx.c index f7317a7..666e46b 100644 --- a/net/mac80211/tx.c +++ b/net/mac80211/tx.c @@ -3530,6 +3530,9 @@ struct sk_buff *ieee80211_beacon_get_tim(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, struct ieee80211_supported_band *sband; int shift; + if (!bcn) + return bcn; + if (tim_offset) *tim_offset = offs.tim_offset; -- 2.5.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
