[PATCH 3.2] mwifiex: fix crash during simultaneous scan and connect

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

 



From: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If 'iw connect' command is fired when driver is already busy in
serving 'iw scan' command, ssid specific scan operation for connect
is skipped. In this case cmd wait queue handler gets called with no
command in queue (i.e. adapter->cmd_queued = NULL).

This patch adds a NULL check in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete()
routine to fix crash observed during simultaneous scan and assoc
operations.

Hi John,

Hope it can catch up the 3.2 train. Otherwise please apply it for 3.3.
Thanks!
