Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix oops in ieee80211_beacon_get_tim
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:58:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1673287.PfdWxMzLgk@debian64> (raw)

This patch fixes a crash which is triggered
by __ieee80211_beacon_get returning NULL.
This causes sky_copy to crash later unless
the hardware supports BEACON_TX_STATUS
feature.

Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com>

"mac80211: Copy tx'ed beacons to monitor mode" added the skb_copy.
There are few other possibilities to do this. This is just one.
