[PATCH 2/5] ath9k_htc: Fix RX URB reference count

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

 



RX URBs are automatically freed when the reference
count drops to zero - this currently doesn't happen when
usb_kill_anchored_urbs() is called during unload.

Fix this by dropping the reference count by one during
initial submission.
