[PATCH 1/3] ath9k: Fix bug in paprd

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

 



It is possbile that the transmission of paprd test frame
might not get completed in 100ms if tx is stuck. Freeing
this skb upon timeout in ath_paprd_calibrate() will result
in accessing already freed memory when the associated pending
buffer is drained in txq. This patch fixes this issue.
