Subject: [PATCH 2/3] korina: add error-handling to korina_alloc_ring
Date: Sun,  9 Aug 2009 02:06:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090809000637.964054CEAA@orbit.nwl.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1249776388-4626-2-git-send-email-n0-1@freewrt.org>

This also avoids a potential buffer overflow in case the very first
receive descriptor fails to allocate, as an index of -1 would be used
afterwards. Kudos to Roel Kluin for pointing this out and providing an
initial patch.
