From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Thu, 07 Nov 2013 07:55:43 +0000 Subject: [patch] Staging: vt6655-6: potential NULL dereference in hostap_disable_hostapd() Message-Id: <20131107075543.GM21844@elgon.mountain> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org 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.
