Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: sdio: fix use after free issue for save_adapter
Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2016 19:23:31 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1480600411-3905-1-git-send-email-akarwar@marvell.com> (raw)
If we have sdio work requests received when sdio card reset is
happening, we may end up accessing older save_adapter pointer
later which is already freed during card reset.
This patch solves the problem by cancelling those pending requests.
