From 3b43a18743421cccd33902e29016fa49b2d52dbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kalle Valo Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2010 20:27:14 +0200 Subject: mac80211: fix tx select key null pointer crash with hostapd Pavel Roskin reported a crash in ieee80211_tx_h_select_key(): http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=126419655108528&w=2 This is a regression from patch "mac80211: move control.hw_key assignment". Fix it as suggested by Johannes, adding an else statement to make sure that tx->key is not accessed when it's null. Compile-tested only.
