[PATCH] ath9k: Access rchan::buf only with per_cpu helper

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

 



The relayfs was changed to use per CPU constructs to handle the rchan
buffers. But the users of the rchan buffers in other parts of the kernel
were not modified. This caused crashes like
