[PATCH 3.3] mwifiex: add NULL checks in driver unload path

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

 



From: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If driver load is failed, sometimes few pointers may remain
uninitialized ex. priv->wdev, priv->netdev, adapter->sleep_cfm
This will cause NULL pointer dereferance while unloading the
driver.
