Linville" , Avinash Patil , Amitkumar Karwar , Maithili Hinge , Xinming Hu , Bing Zhao Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mwifiex: set valid tx_param during mwifiex_send_null_packet Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 19:50:13 -0700 Message-ID: <1400035813-24420-1-git-send-email-bzhao@marvell.com> (sfid-20140514_045033_585214_29D739BF) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: From: Avinash Patil While sending null packet from driver we are passing NULL tx_param pointer to indicate there are no more packets in queue. PCIe send routine assumes caller has done sanity check on tx_param and may cause crash while dereferencing next_pkt_len from tx_param. Avoid this by passing tx_param structure with next_pkt_len as zero instead of NULL pointer.
