[PATCH 3/5] iwlwifi: mvm: fix potential NULL-dereference in iwl_mvm_reorder()

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

 



From: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>

We try to access sta before we check for IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), so we may
end up accessing a NULL pointer.  To prevent that, move the conversion
from sta to mvm_sta below the check.

Fixes: b915c10174fb ("iwlwifi: mvm: add reorder buffer per queue")
