Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Fix null pointer dereference with iTXQ support
Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2017 17:03:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1499472194-9654-1-git-send-email-ch.lee@newracom.com> (raw)
This change adds null pointer check before dereferencing pointer dev on
netif_tx_start_all_queues() when an interface is added.
With iTXQ support, netif_tx_start_all_queues() is always called while
an interface is added. however, the netdev queues are not associated
and dev is null when the interface is either NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_DEVICE
or NL80211_IFTYPE_NAN.
