From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:45:02 +0000 (+0200) Subject: cfg80211: annotate cfg80211_inform_bss X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ef100682814c429709f0904b757595e25019cb31;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git cfg80211: annotate cfg80211_inform_bss This function returns a referenced BSS struct (or NULL), annotate with __must_check. It seems that a lot of drivers get this completely wrong and leak all BSS structs as a result. Reported-by: Adam Mikuta Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
