[PATCH] mac80211: Fix TDLS support validation in add_station handler

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

 



We need to verify whether the command is successful before allocating
the station entry to avoid extra processing. This also fixes a memory
leak on the error path.
