From 055249d20de06c290fe7625be0a7164bef3958f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 13:59:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Fix panic on fragmentation with power saving It was possible to hit a kernel panic on NULL pointer dereference in dev_queue_xmit() when sending power save buffered frames to a STA that woke up from sleep. This happened when the buffered frame was requeued for transmission in ap_sta_ps_end(). In order to avoid the panic, copy the skb->dev and skb->iif values from the first fragment to all other fragments. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: John W.
