Subject: [patch] Staging: vt6655-6: potential NULL dereference in hostap_disable_hostapd()
Date: Thu, 07 Nov 2013 07:55:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131107075543.GM21844@elgon.mountain> (raw)
We fixed this to use free_netdev() instead of kfree() but unfortunately
free_netdev() doesn't accept NULL pointers. Smatch complains about
this, it's not something I discovered through testing.
Fixes: 3030d40b5036 ('staging: vt6655: use free_netdev instead of kfree')
Fixes: 0a438d5b381e ('staging: vt6656: use free_netdev instead of kfree')
