[PATCH] mac80211: Fix scan RX processing oops

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

 



ieee80211_bss_info_update() can return NULL. Verify that this is not the
case before calling ieee802111_rx_bss_put() which would trigger an oops
in interrupt context in atomic_dec_and_lock().
