3.19.8-ckt14 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f99551a2d39dc26ea03dc6761be11ac913eb2d57 upstream. In commit 38506ecefab9 (rtlwifi: rtl_pci: Start modification for new drivers), a bug was introduced that causes a NULL pointer dereference. As this bug only affects the infrequently used RTL8192EE and only under low-memory conditions, it has taken a long time for the bug to show up. The bug was reported on the linux-wireless mailing list and also at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/ as bug #1527603 (kernel crashes due to rtl8192ee driver on ubuntu 15.10).
