[PATCH 2/2] cfg80211: release station info tidstats where needed

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

This fixes memory leaks in cases where we got the station
info but failed sending it out properly.

Fixes: 8689c051a201 ("cfg80211: dynamically allocate per-tid stats for station info")
