[PATCH 1/2] rsi: add fix for crash during assertions

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

 



From: Sanjay Konduri <sanjay.konduri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Observed crash in some scenarios when assertion has occurred,
this is because hw structure is freed and is tried to get
accessed in some functions where null check is already
present. So, avoided the crash by making the hw to NULL after
freeing.
