From 2ab03a6b962eb9ff34846156b324eb411837b331 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Kazior Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 19:30:05 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: make sure to not use invalid beacon pointer If DMA mapping of next beacon failed it was possible for next SWBA to access a pointer that was already unmapped and freed. This could cause memory corruption.
