Subject: [PATCH 2/4] cfg80211: free_priv for BSS info
Date: Sat, 07 Feb 2009 16:08:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090207150934.929731048@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090207150846.951229208@sipsolutions.net
When cfg80211 users have their own allocated data in the per-BSS
private data, they will need to free this when the BSS struct is
destroyed. Add a free_priv method and fix one place where the BSS
was kfree'd rather than released properly.
