From 7be081539e540517d5e1fcbf96b8080074afbf08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabor Juhos Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:44:59 +0100 Subject: rt2x00: fix a possible NULL pointer dereference The 'rt2x00lib_probe_dev' function tries to allocate the workqueue. If the allocation fails, 'rt2x00_lib_remove_dev' is called on the error path. Because 'rt2x00dev->workqueue' is NULL in this case, the 'destroy_workqueue' call will cause a NULL pointer dereference.
