From b51aff057c9d0ef6c529dc25fd9f775faf7b6c63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2010 10:15:07 +0100 Subject: mac80211: fix mesh forwarding Under memory pressure, the mac80211 mesh code may helpfully print a message that it failed to clone a mesh frame and then will proceed to crash trying to use it anyway. Fix that. Cc: stable@kernel.org [2.6.27+] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Acked-by: Javier Cardona Signed-off-by: John W.
