[PATCH 5.4 038/109] nl80211: dont return err unconditionally in nl80211_start_ap()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jul 14 2020 - 15:08:41 EST


From: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit bc7a39b4272b9672d806d422b6850e8c1a09914c ]

When a memory leak was fixed, a return err was changed to goto err,
but, accidentally, the if (err) was removed, so now we always exit at
this point.

Fix it by adding if (err) back.
