From 52512072738c851896c8bfa31938eba1e9b9bc62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: andrea merello Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2014 22:21:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add check on hw->max_signal value on ieee80211_register_hw When IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC is set, mac80211 will perform a division by max_signal in ieee80211_bss_info_update. If max_signal is not properly set by the driver (for example it is zero) this leads to a divide error and crash. Thanks to Larry Finger, who pointed me to this. This patch adds in ieee80211_register_hw one more check to detect this condition and eventually returns -EINVAL, as already done for other checks already performed there.
