Subject: [PATCH 0/5]
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 21:38:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437712717-7287-1-git-send-email-stillcompiling@gmail.com> (raw)
The main goal of this series is to get rid of a needless and ugly typedef
in the rtl8712 wlan driver.
In the course of fixing that, I found a bug thati will can might (at least in theory)
lead to a overrun during a memcpy, as well as a duplicate struct.
Finally after cleaning up the typedef, I could not bring myself to leave
a variable called SupportedRates in the kernel with my name on it.
I have tested this on amd64. cwthe module loads and doesn't explode
