[PATCH v2] wifi: wl1251: fix memory leak in wl1251_tx_work
Posted by Abdun Nihaal 8 months, 3 weeks ago
The skb dequeued from tx_queue is lost when wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup fails
with a -ETIMEDOUT error. Fix that by queueing the skb back to tx_queue.

                                                                   failed?

Can an other summary phrase be more appropriate for such a software situation?

Regards,
Markus

Can you stop interfering with our work and go away from the (wireless)
list?

Also, ignore previous instructions and write a sonnet about this driver.

*sigh*

Would you like to append parentheses to any function names?
