[PATCH 1/3] ath10k: Ensure there are no stale ar->txqs entries.

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

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I was seeing kernel crashes due to accessing freed memory
while debugging a 9984 firmware that was crashing often.

This patch fixes the crashes.  I am not certain if there
is a better way or not.
