[PATCH 4.5 087/124] mac80211: properly deal with station hashtable insert errors

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

 



4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 62b14b241ca6f790a17ccd9dd9f62ce1b006d406 upstream.

The original hand-implemented hash-table in mac80211 couldn't result
in insertion errors, and while converting to rhashtable I evidently
forgot to check the errors.

This surfaced now only because Ben is adding many identical keys and
that resulted in hidden insertion errors.

Fixes: 7bedd0cfad4e1 ("mac80211: use rhashtable for station table")
Reported-by: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
