[PATCH] NET: nl80211, fix lock imbalance and netdev referencing

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

 



Stanse found that nl80211_set_wiphy imporperly handles a lock and netdev
reference and contains unreachable code. It is because there return statement
isntead of assignment to result variable. Fix that.
