From 4c1bcdb5a3354b250b82a67549f57ac27a3bb85f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Grazvydas Ignotas Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 23:07:44 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] wl1251: fix crash on remove due to leftover work item This driver currently leaves elp_work behind when stopping, which occasionally results in data corruption because work function ends up accessing freed memory, typical symptoms of this are various worker_thread crashes. Fix it by cancelling elp_work. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v2.6.37+ Signed-off-by: Grazvydas Ignotas Signed-off-by: John W.
