Subject: [PATCH 1/2] wifi: ath11k: fix error path leaks in some WMI WOW calls
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:48:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424144813.1708214-2-nico.escande@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424144813.1708214-1-nico.escande@gmail.com>
Fix two instances where we used to directly return the result of
ath11k_wmi_cmd_send(...). Because we did not check the return value, we
also did not free the skb in the error path.
Fixes: 79802b13a492 ("ath11k: implement WoW enable and wakeup commands")
