From 90accd0b4701c41a4a35c717d4f4439a9fc2b70c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Nazarewicz Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 17:43:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: wirelesse: wcn36xx: pull allocation outside of critical section Commit [3469adb3: fix potential NULL pointer dereference] introduced a check of msg_ind allocation, but omitted allocation of msg_ind->msg. Moreover, it introduced two if statements, which looked a bit clunky. This commit moves allocation code outside of the critical section so there's no need to dance around mutex_unlock, and adds the missing allocation check.
