[PATCH] mwifiex: sdio: fix use after free issue for save_adapter

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

 



If we have sdio work requests received when sdio card reset is
happening, we may end up accessing older save_adapter pointer
later which is already freed during card reset.
This patch solves the problem by cancelling those pending requests.
