Subject: [patch 03/14] mac80211: fix two issues in debugfs
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:56:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081016175625.GD12850@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081016175525.GA12850@suse.de>
[-- Attachment #1: mac80211-fix-two-issues-in-debugfs.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1802 bytes --]
2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.
------------------
From: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
Not in trees above 2.6.27 as it is fixed differently in .28.
This fixes RHBZ 466264, whenever the master interface is
renamed this code would BUG_ON. Also fixes a separately
reported bug with the debugfs dir being NULL.
This patch is not applicable to the next kernel version
because both these issues have been fixed, the first one
by not having the master interface have a ieee80211_ptr
at all, and the second one by also leaving the function
early.
