Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ath9k: Fix bug in paprd
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 02:42:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1277372566-22883-1-git-send-email-vasanth@atheros.com> (raw)

It is possbile that the transmission of paprd test frame
might not get completed in 100ms if tx is stuck. Freeing
this skb upon timeout in ath_paprd_calibrate() will result
in accessing already freed memory when the associated pending
buffer is drained in txq. This patch fixes this issue.
