Subject: [PATCH 2.6.31] iwmc3200wifi: fix NULL pointer dereference in iwm_if_free
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 17:24:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1247131455-26316-1-git-send-email-yi.zhu@intel.com> (raw)
The driver private data is now based on wiphy. So we should not
touch the private data after wiphy_free() is called. The patch
fixes the potential NULL pointer dereference by making the
iwm_wdev_free() the last one on the interface removal path.
