Subject: [PATCH RESEND] net: wirelesse: wcn36xx: pull allocation outside of critical section
Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 17:43:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xa1tbo0nqqx0.fsf@mina86.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131211155249.GD7411@tuxdriver.com>
Commit [3469adb3: fix potential NULL pointer dereference] introduced
a check of msg_ind allocation, but omitted allocation of msg_ind->msg.
Moreover, it introduced two if statements, which looked a bit clunky.
This commit moves allocation code outside of the critical section so
there's no need to dance around mutex_unlock, and adds the missing
allocation check.
