[PATCH 3.12 095/113] Staging: vt6655-6: potential NULL dereference in hostap_disable_hostapd()

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Mon Mar 06 2017 - 04:20:21 EST


From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit cb4855b49deb1acce27706ad9509d63c4fe8e988 upstream.

We fixed this to use free_netdev() instead of kfree() but unfortunately
free_netdev() doesn't accept NULL pointers. Smatch complains about
this, it's not something I discovered through testing.

Fixes: 3030d40b5036 ('staging: vt6655: use free_netdev instead of kfree')
Fixes: 0a438d5b381e ('staging: vt6656: use free_netdev instead of kfree')
