Subject: [PATCH] NET: mac80211 - fix inappropriate memory freeing
Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 22:22:49 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071203192249.GC7328@cvg> (raw)
This patch does fix inappropriate memory freeing in case
of requested rate_control_ops was not found. In this case
the list head entity is going to be accidently wasted.
