Subject: mac80211_hwsim: avoid NULL access
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ff176674e75bdee9022dded415fb805f15700ad;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

mac80211_hwsim: avoid NULL access

There's a race condition -- started can be set to true
before channel is set due to the way mac80211 callbacks
currently work (->start should probably pass the channel
we would like to have initially). For now simply add a
check to hwsim to avoid dereferencing the NULL channel
pointer.
