[PATCH] rt2x00: fix memory corruption in rf cache, add a sanity check

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

 



Change rt2x00_rf_read() and rt2x00_rf_write() to subtract 1 from the rf
register number.  This is needed because the rf registers are enumerated
starting with one.  The size of the rf register cache is just enough to
hold all registers, so writing to the highest register was corrupting
memory.  Add a check to make sure that the rf register number is valid.

That's the issue reported by Michael Buesch:

With this patch and the patch to stop works on unload, rt73usb seems
rock solid now.
