[PATCH 3.16 003/245] libertas: don't exit from lbs_ibss_join_existing() with RCU read lock held

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

 



3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Nicolai Stange <nstange@xxxxxxx>

commit c7bf1fb7ddca331780b9a733ae308737b39f1ad4 upstream.

Commit e5e884b42639 ("libertas: Fix two buffer overflows at parsing bss
descriptor") introduced a bounds check on the number of supplied rates to
lbs_ibss_join_existing().

Unfortunately, it introduced a return path from within a RCU read side
critical section without a corresponding rcu_read_unlock(). Fix this.
