wimax: fix oops in wimax_dev_get_by_genl_info() when looking up non-wimax iface

2009-02-13T01:00:20+00:00

When a non-wimax interface is looked up by the stack, a bad pointer is returned when the looked-up interface is not found in the list (of registered WiMAX interfaces). This causes an oops in the caller when trying to use the pointer. Fix by properly setting the pointer to NULL if we don't exit from the list_for_each() with a found entry.

wimax: fix '#ifndef CONFIG_BUG' layout to avoid warning

2009-01-08T19:06:48+00:00

Reported by Randy Dunlap: > Also, this warning needs to be fixed: > > linux-next-20090106/net/wimax/id-table.c:133: warning: ISO C90 > forbids mixed declarations and code Move the return on #defined(CONFIG_BUG) below the variable declarations so it doesn't violate ISO C90. On wimax_id_table_release() we want to do a debug check if CONFIG_BUG is enabled. However, we also want the debug code to be always compiled to ensure there is no bitrot. It will be optimized out by the compiler when CONFIG_BUG is disabled. Added a note to the function header stating this. Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

wimax: generic device management (registration, deregistration, lookup)

2009-01-07T18:00:17+00:00

Implements the basic life cycles of a 'struct wimax_dev', some common generic netlink functionality for marshalling calls to user space, and the device state machine. For looking up net devices based on their generic netlink family IDs, use a low overhead method that optimizes for the case where most systems have a single WiMAX device, or at most, a very low number of WiMAX adaptors.
