[PATCH 10/29] mwl8k: fix mwl8k_configure_filter() parameter lifetime issue

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

 



mwl8k_configure_filter() passes pointers to total_flags and the
multicast address list to a workqueue function, while there is no
guarantee that those pointers will still be valid by the time the
workqueue function runs.

Solve this by passing total_flags by value, and by passing an
already built multicast address setup command packet to the workqueue
function so that we don't have to look at the multicast address list
itself outside of mwl8k_configure_filter().
