[PATCH] staging: Check for Null return of fw_download_code

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

 



This patch fixes the bug , https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60461
on the kernel bugzilla. Further more I am checking if we are allocating a
NULL skb and if so make rt_status to false and free the quene we are using
for allocated skbs in the while/do loop with skb_quene_purge.
