[PATCH] mac80211: mesh: fix two small problems

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

 



1) there's a spin_lock() that needs to be spin_lock_bh()
2) action frames of size 24 might cause an out-of-bounds
   memory access (for the 25th byte only, so no big deal)
