[PATCH] mac80211: clean up an ieee80211_do_open error path

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

Eliad's comment prompted me to look closer at
the error paths in ieee80211_do_open() and I
found one that should use the error labels.

Also add a comment about the clear_bit since
in many error cases the bit hasn't been set.
