      mac80211_hwsim.c: fix: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000370 · 3a33cc10
      Ian Schram 提交于
      I was looking at this out of interest, but I'm in no way familiar with
      the code.
      
      Looks to me that the error handling code in mac80211_hwsim is awkward.
      Which leads to it calling ieee80211_unregister_hw even when
      ieee80211_register_hw failed.
      
      The function has a for loop where it generates all simulated radios.
      when something fails, the error handling will call mac80211_hwsim_free
      which frees all simulated radios who's pointer isn't zero. However the
      information stored is insufficient to determine whether or not the call
      to ieee80211_register_hw succeeded or not for a specific radio. The
      included patch makes init_mac80211_hwsim clean up the current simulated
      radio, and then calls into mac80211_hwsim_free to clean up all the
      radios that did succeed.
      
      This however doesn't explain why the rate control registration failed..
      build tested this, but had some problems reproducing the original
      problem.

      hdlcdrv: Fix CRC calculation. · ae6134bd
      Micah Dowty 提交于
      This is a trivial patch against the hdlcdrv module that fixes its CRC
      calculation. The finished CRC was overwriting the first two bytes of
      each packet rather than being appended to the end.
      
      I've tested this with 2.6.8 and 2.6.10-rc1, but hdlcdrv hasn't changed
      much recently so it should work with many other kernel versions.
