From d25f9f1357139bbdc79bc960ea84909a7c22ec2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lennert Buytenhek Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2009 21:58:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mwl8k: fix NULL pointer dereference on receive out-of-memory When we go into out-of-memory and fail to allocate skbuffs to refill the receive ring with, rxq_process can end up running into a receive ring entry that is marked as host-owned but doesn't have an associated skbuff. If this happens, we must break out of the rx processing loop instead of trying to process the descriptor. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: John W.
