Subject: [patch 2/2] staging: rtl8192e: don't just print an error and continue
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2015 15:49:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150728154925.GB25739@mwanda> (raw)

I was looking at how TOTAL_CAM_ENTRY is used and I saw this code.  We
print an error but continue writing "EntryNo" to a register as if it
were valid.  "EntryNo" is controlled by the user in rtl8192_ioctl() so
it definitely can be invalid.  I'm not positive what happens with the
invalid data but it can't be good.
