Subject: [PATCH 3.4 14/37] b43: Fix unload oops if firmware is not available
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 13:00:50 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140204210056.409977150@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140204210055.992134150@linuxfoundation.org>
3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>
commit 0673effd41dba323d6a280ef37b5ef29f3f5a653 upstream.
The asyncronous firmware load uses a completion struct to hold firmware
processing until the user-space routines are up and running. There is.
however, a problem in that the waiter is nevered canceled during teardown.
As a result, unloading the driver when firmware is not available causes an oops.
To be able to access the completion structure at teardown, it had to be moved
into the b43_wldev structure.
This patch also fixes a typo in a comment.
