[PATCH 0/2] rtl8xxxu: Fix memory leak and big endian bug

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

 



From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,

These two patches for 4.9 fix a potential memory leak for gen1 parts
and a big endian problem reporting mactime.

While I have only seen it trigger for 8188eu devices, in code which
has not yet been submitted, it could potentially hit other parts such
as 8723au, 8188cu, 8192cu. I prefer to get it fixed asap.

The second bug is a double byte-swap of the mactime read from the RX
packet descriptor.

Both fixes should be applicable to stable-4.8.

Cheers,
Jes
