Subject: [PATCH] ath6kl: fix null skb dereference in ath6kl_rx()
Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2011 14:32:32 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111006113232.24700.12168.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)

smatch found that skb might be null in some cases in ath6kl_rx():

ath6kl/txrx.c +1252 ath6kl_rx(222) error: potential null derefence 'skb'.

This will happen when ath6kl is in AP mode and two clients send traffic
to each other.
