[PATCH v2 30/31] wl1271: Check vif for NULL when indicating beacon-loss

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

 



From: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@xxxxxxxxx>

Because the interface is started and the vif are created and destroyed
separately, there is a slim possibility beacon-loss indications occur while
there is no vif - causing a kernel-oops unless checked.

Add checking for the vif.
