Subject: [PATCH] lib80211: call try_module_get() in lib80211_get_crypto_ops()
Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 22:50:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110729025007.7889.19879.stgit@mj.roinet.com> (raw)
Doing it by the caller is racy. Some callers neglected to do so. Fix
callers not to call try_module_get() after lib80211_get_crypto_ops().
When ops is copied, move lib80211_crypt_delayed_deinit() after
try_module_get() to avoid the risk that the module would be unloaded
between those calls.
