Subject: [patch 18/18] rndis_wlan: fix initialization order for workqueue&workers
Date: Wed, 06 May 2009 13:30:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090506203131.683958194@blue.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090506203353.GA14624@kroah.com>
[-- Attachment #1: rndis_wlan-fix-initialization-order-for-workqueue-workers.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2173 bytes --]
2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@mbnet.fi>
commit e805e4d0b53506dff4255a2792483f094e7fcd2c upstream.
rndis_wext_link_change() might be called from rndis_command() at
initialization stage and priv->workqueue/priv->work have not been
initialized yet. This causes invalid opcode at rndis_wext_bind on
some brands of bcm4320.
Fix by initializing workqueue/workers in rndis_wext_bind() before
rndis_command is used.
This bug has existed since 2.6.25, reported at:
