Subject: commit c7e88ecbe328 ("staging: r8188eu: remove rtw_buf_free() function")
Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2021 09:21:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210803072129.GA1422@agape.jhs> (raw)
Dear Greg,
I followed the discussion about the bug that was
introduced by commit c7e88ecbe328. But I can't
understand why this patch introduced such a bug.
In the changelog of the revert patch you wrote
that you forgot how pointers work (:-D), but
I think I forgot either (if ever known :P).
Do you have any idea of what happened? This
topic could give us all deeper understanding
of kernel memory management.
Thank you in advance,
fabio
