[PATCH] nl80211: fix nl80211_send_iface() error paths

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

Evidently I introduced a locking bug in my change here,
the nla_put_failure sometimes needs to unlock. Fix it.

Fixes: 44905265bc15 ("nl80211: don't expose wdev->ssid for most interfaces")
