From: Ajay Singh <ajay.kathat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> When the BSS reference holds a valid reference, it is not freed. The 'if' condition is wrong. Instead of the 'if (bss)' check, the 'if (!bss)' check is used. The issue is solved by removing the unnecessary 'if' check because cfg80211_put_bss() already performs the NULL validation. Fixes: 6cd4fa5ab691 ("staging: wilc1000: make use of cfg80211_inform_bss_frame()") Signed-off-by: Ajay Singh <ajay.kathat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c b/drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c index 530a768547cc..36b87ed38092 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c @@ -129,8 +129,7 @@ static void cfg_scan_result(enum scan_event scan_event, info->frame_len, (s32)info->rssi * 100, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!bss) - cfg80211_put_bss(wiphy, bss); + cfg80211_put_bss(wiphy, bss); } else if (scan_event == SCAN_EVENT_DONE) { mutex_lock(&priv->scan_req_lock); -- 2.25.1
