From 65486c8b30498dd274eea2c542696f22b63fe5b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:33:35 +0100 Subject: cfg80211: fix error path in cfg80211_wext_siwscan If there's an invalid channel or SSID, the code leaks the scan request. Always free the scan request, unless it was successfully given to the driver. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Acked-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: John W.
