From 2f787b0b76bf5de2eaa3ca3a29d89123ae03c856 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?YOSHIFUJI=20Hideaki=20/=20=E5=90=89=E8=97=A4=E8=8B=B1?= =?utf8?q?=E6=98=8E?= Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2010 17:59:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Ensure initializing private mc_list in prepare_multicast(). Fix kernel panic by NULL pointer dereference in the context of ieee80211_ops->prepare_multicast(). This bug was introduced by commit 22bedad3c.. ("net: convert multicast list to list_head"). Call __hw_addr_init() in ieee80211_alloc_hw() to initialize list_head of private device multicast list, like we do in bond_init().
