[PATCH 02/12] wilc1000: fix possible memory leak in cfg_scan_result()

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

 



From: Ajay Singh <ajay.kathat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Free 'cg80211_bss' reference when 'bss' handler is valid.
'if' condition is incorrect because it calls 'cfg80211_put_bss' when bss
is NULL(i.e 'if (!bss) is used instead of 'if (bss)')
Remove 'if' condition because 'cfg80211_put_bss' API already takes care
of NULL check.

Fixes: 6cd4fa5ab691 ("staging: wilc1000: make use of cfg80211_inform_bss_frame()")
