Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: kill URB when request timed out
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 21:33:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5464187E.5060208@gmail.com> (raw)
Kill the submitted URB in brcmf_usb_dl_cmd if the request timed out. This
assures the URB is never submitted twice. It also prevents a possible
use-after-free of the URB transfer buffer if a timeout occurs.
