Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mac80211: fix an oops in several failure paths in key allocation
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:13:46 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1214471626-4231-1-git-send-email-tomas.winkler@intel.com> (raw)

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

This patch fixes an oops in several failure paths in key allocation. This
Oops occurs when freeing a key that has not been linked yet, so the
key->sdata is not set.
